So lovely and so on-point as I head out into the forest to get grounded and create. #writing

Rituals for the Ones Who Still Feel Everything

On circles, soil, and practical courage
When an empire starts to crack, as it does now, it doesn鈥檛 suddenly become humbled and honest. It panics. It lies louder. It tightens control. It increases distractions. It tries to install fear in the body so we鈥檒l obey without being asked. And the cruelty we鈥檙e seeing, this casual abandonment of truth and moral ground, doesn鈥檛 read as strength to me. It reads as a system that鈥檚 scared. A system that can feel its story failing.

In the 1920s an Italian #anarchist wrote about: The old age already dead - the new age not born, yet. This is the time for monsters.
That鈥榮 where we are, right now.
The last century took 20 more years and 60million lives to proceed to a new age. We鈥榣l have to be real strong, if we have to walk a simular trail again. Appreciate your spreading #hope .

@solaris Gramsci!

if you haven't ever seen this speech, I think you would like it -- I revisit it frequently

'What if this darkness is not the darkness of the tomb, but the darkness of the womb'

4 ZS. The old world is dying,
and the new world
 struggles to be born;
now is the time of
 monsters.

@solaris working for a better world when you know you won't see it? I think that's the space most people, especially visionary ones, but everyday ones as well, inhabit. I know I won't live long enough to see the end of the climate crisis, only the worsening of it... and yet that's not relevant to anything I do, not really. You plant the seeds because if you don't, they can't grow. You are not required to finish the work but neither are you absolved from it.

That鈥榮 my situation, too, and Isimply don鈥榯 want to be guilty, anymore, of what is coming, but contribute to a solution. Step by step.
