The prayer position is one he naturally commands from me. Children are such great leaders/ teachers. I see all of humanity in his joy and in his impatience . His size demands tender care and kneeling in awe and assistance. Yes they grow fast. But we grow so slow it's nice to be reminded that everything is passing...into something else constantly. That there is no constant with children except that they will always change. And oh what an amazing lesson. To love what is there not what was.

Fixing our vanagon up to make her a small and wonderful temporary home. Driving north till we find affordable land to tend and grow on. Be it land we buy, land we communally own or land that is gifted toward sustainable stewardship. If you have any energy, insights or offerings towards our journey DM me. We love you. ❤️ Jena, Ethan and Ode.

This was shot with slide film on my little work horse of a camera.

A symbiosis or Happy Mother Earth day --
The breast arches and forms the shape to meet the needs of his mouth , long before they were ever acquainted. That's true love. That's what mother nature is all about. Embodying true need. Adapting to fulfill true growth. Ahhhh, we still have so much to learn from our mother.

Will we look back in shame, as our great grandchildren try to fathom how we could consume so much with so little thought as to what we were leaving behind?

It's either our choice now or her ultimatum// The truth,
The wise and womanly body that she is,
Will take no prisoners
As she sweeps you off your feet
And deep into a ravine
Balance will come
In a slow game
Of destruction
She will win
At the cost of everything.

Your poetry submissions have been wonderfully blowing my mind. I'm in awe of the vulnerability and grace and hunger for action that is alive and well today.
I've decided to postpone the event planned for April 15 because there is something MUCH bigger brewing here. More than a discussion night that exists in different locales. More than an open call for poets and activists. I'm diving deep into this. And plan on sharing updates soon.
Please keep sending poetry. Tap into what's not being said today and send it my way. This will be a holy and vast collection, helping us all transcribe the world we are creating together.
Thank you,
Your graceful rebel mama j

" The most important thing an individual can do is not become an individual "
#billmckibben thoughts and quotes on our survival as a species. Full article in my bio

A promise ,
When left to its own devices , grows and grows and grows.
Or how I caught the mist on film.

Kissing every rock, hello, goodbye, I love you. Or as the oceans rise my heart collapses. Or rather, this is no longer an individuals journey. Asking what can I do? How can I stop climate change? This way of thinking is no longer good enough. We are deep into the "We" territory.
