In spite of it all, there is direct evidence all around us of the colonizer narrative disappearing

locally foraged walnut ink over earth pigment. Started as strata series. Then words (zoom in) became red flags, taken down from federal websites. words painted ground up stone. words help us make meaning. If you strip away the layers of meaning there is Less. Less of all of us.

Local scene painted with locally foraged materials. We had some vibrant sunsets the last few weeks during the Moss Landing battery fire. New ink from coast live oak oak-galls over earth pigments. The view from the driveway of my work’s new water treatment plant. #watsonville #earthpigments

Perspective, here on the edge of the biggest body of water on earth. to step outside my daily stressors, the greatness of the earth and how short amount of time humans have been on this planet; a responsibility to ourselves to lift up our eyes & be present to the fullness of being alive.

Louise Erdrich on the Deepest Meaning of Resistance β€œResist loss of the miraculous by lowering your standards for what constitutes a miracle. It is all a fucking miracle.”

Maria Popova’s posts are always on point and i love how other authors are reference points for her. The poem in this post by Louise Erdrich is just right for me today. (Except the getting rid of stuff part!)
I have been a fan if Louise Erdrich for 30 years!
