"Instead, we turn toward the work of healing. Of tending the bruised and broken places in ourselves, in our kin, in the land. We build shelter in the ruins, plant gardens in the cracks, sing songs older than conquest. We dream, not as escape, but as invocation—calling forth futures that refuse to be dictated by those who profit from despair." I love this.

I write about similar things (though maybe not as elegantly) -- seeding a new world, working with ancestors, learning to heal by communicating with the plants. This is where I'm putting my energy in these times. These are the things that will save us.

So rich Shannon. I keep returning to these posts and feeling in to how to give them form in my day. Thank you for that.

I'd love to know more about the garland image
