Umoja (Unity)
Kujichagulia (self determination)
Ujima (collective work & responsibility)
Ujamaa (cooperative economics)
Nia (purpose)
Kuumba (creativity)
Imani (faith)

Mycelium makes deep networks & thrives from decay.
🍄 Be like mycelium. Keep growing in the darkness, transmute the medium into something you can use. Send up flowers & weave your web into the webs of others who support you.
Never give up.
Rest as needed.
This is the call.

We might heal ourselves, if each human being was taught to learn about themselves; taught that working together creates more benefit than competition; that love & kindness are far more important than money; that community is the way to create equity; and no one is free until all beings are free.

In darkness, find the light
In winter’s cold, find the warmth
Find your community
And use that connection to weave a net of safety and protection
Forward, together
In whatever weather
We will illuminate the darkness, warm the cold spaces, create beauty,
manifest dreams.
Onward, forward, together.

When it all seems overwhelming
Everything uncertain
It’s easy to catastrophize.
But do not.
Focus.
How are YOU?
Feel what that is.
Can you do anything to nourish yourself?
Keep each other well.
This little light of mine,
I’m gonna let it shine.
Because you need a mess of help to stand alone.

When you feel surrounded by darkness, close your eyes and breathe, and seek the light within you which does not dim, which shines on and on, sustaining you even when there is little else.
Protect that spark.
Nourish it.
It will help you carry forward.

Every morning I take a moment to set my focus for the day, to breathe and articulate my process.
Let me rise to meet this day, joining together with it in a dance which carries me through all that needs to be done, with kindness and grace, seeking unity and community.
This is how I go forward.

Clear Friday. Sleep in, have a nice breakfast and coffee. When you feel like it, go to your favorite local, non-corporate retailers, spend your money with them to keep it in your community. Have a late lunch at a locally owned restaurant.
Feel good about yourself and your community.

The way we defeat lies is to deny them oxygen
This format gives truth the oxygen it needs to thrive.
When the liars have all the oxygen, it only takes one lit match to make them implode.
Be that match.
Bluesky is that match.

I’m trying to own my grief, frustration, and fear these days, and feel it; shape it into a staff that throws bolts of lightening and glides like a samurai sword. And then, to look beyond the impending crash and forge the connections, community, and unity which will provide a way forward.
Join me.

Getting the feel and flow of how things work here, and so far I’m enjoying it. Thought I would share a photo of orange Tithonia and red Pineapple Sage blooming in my garden. The bees and butterflies love them.
When the world is running down, you make the best of what’s still around.
Woh-oh.

Curious to see where this experiment takes us; hopefully it will be to good and interesting places. I am seeking hope by deepening my friendships and strengthening my connections.
Currently my uplifting morning ritual is to feed the neighborhood ravens and listen as they talk.
What is yours?
