It amazes me how much process philosophy mirrors indigenous worldviews, revealing how verb-focused languages sustain a worldview centered on all our relations.

Yes. Erich Fromm talked about Having vs. Being mode and how we’ve lost the use of verbs. People say things like “I have a cold”, as if it’s a fixed state. Whereas through a process lens it would be something more like “I am colding.”
