It is true that we will never decide upon the 'reason' we turned away, why some folks decided that decimating those that live with the land, and in their bodies, was the right way to go. It is so hard to know why they would think that was a good idea?

So here we are.

There is a soft, slow groundswell of change coming. People nudging us to look inside, to widen our perspective, and, accept there may be a different way to do this. These people, like you Renee and so many others, give me hope.

The next stride comes from the inside and some people are scared of what lies in there, or perhaps more than fear they simply do not know, they have never been taught to look. We are on the precipice of getting 'sorted out' (OK, that's a bad term but it's what popped into my head). By sorted I mean moving into a better equilibrium both inside and out. But to reach the other side we all have work to do. That effort begins with noticing, softening, and allowing for a different path.

Thank you for the work that you do Sweetie, you are truly changing the world one article or presentation at a time and we appreciate it.

Hello my brilliant, soulful friend. Your reflection on belonging and becoming in word and image has stilled me into a deepening presence. Thoughts, sensations, emotions arise….then settle. What lingers is the experience of being bodied on body. All of us belonging to the earth, herself turning in a hermeneutic spiral of becoming. All of us participating knowingly or unknowingly in the breaking through(mining) of what Gebser refers to as integral consciousness.
