ground: poner polo a tierra
In both English and Spanish this term comes from the electrical meaning, but is used metaphorically to mean to bring a discussion back to earth, to the concrete, or it can refer to bringing your body energy and spirit back down to earth, in a chi gong kind of way. We could all probably use more of this too.

decolonizing solidarity
My other blog looks at colonial patterns in international solidarity and ways that we might change them, and talks about my research on international accompaniment and how it uses difference and privilege to make space for peace. The latest entries are listed below.

En realidad, se utiliza "aterrizar" (landing). Es un termino, como bien indicas, que proviene de la ingenieria electrica, y asi se dice en espanol. :)
hmm, aterrizar is actually a bit different. at least in Colombia it's usually used to mean come down to earth, whereas to ground, despite my initial comment, I think actually means to go further, to send energy under the surface digamos.
