It’s been hard to start/finish this post, let alone stay positive about the future, so I deleted everything I was trying to say about current politics. I got bogged down in trying to say everything exactly the way I mean it. Suffice to say that I am very worried about the future in many respects, not just for myself or my family or my community, but about targeted people around the country, and about the future of our ecosystems.
One of the main problems of modern life is that it is so easy to be disconnected from the land. But our natural world is part of us – we are part of it – and it is the land and water and sky that sustains us and makes everything else possible. I’m grateful to indigenous teachers, in person and through books and social media, who have impressed this on me.
In hopes of reconnecting to the roots of human existence, repairing some of the damage done by white settlers in the Puget Sound area, and building a future for the planet – please keep reading and/or join me out at Cosmic Acres soon!
