At this week’s youth group gathering Art Shegonee, a Menominee elder, shared stories and guided us in creating talking sticks. So many beautiful narratives woven into the evening

Morning sunrise

Schrödinger's Morning: Taking a moment to breathe before turning on the news.

I went to sleep before the finality of the looming government shutdown. I can stand here and wonder- is the government still open? Or not?

The universe doesn’t care. The morning rises with possibilities.

The golden hues of late summer. I needed to turn off the news & take a walk 🥾

What do you do for creative resistance?

A candle is lit and sits on a windowsill at night

There is sunlight still shining in WI tonight, yet a void of despair threatens to devour hope. The Military War Economy has rattled its saber of fear. The US entered the conflict Israel launched against Iran.

I am holding sacred space releasing hope, compassion, and peace into shattered places 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
