To Forget Myself Again
On noticing the world, and returning to it
I have a Substack where I post poems and reflections on belonging and reconnecting in nature, in the world, together, and how to move towards life and away from our oppressive systems of power. Check out my newest post here: open.substack.com/pub/luzitacr...

We often know so little but think we know so much.
But any time you stay quiet and present,
the world will always show you new wonders and truth.

You’re always surrounded by truth, by lessons, by knowledge.
Every person, every creature, every inch of Earth holds wisdom you don’t yet hold.
The plants, the ants, the pelicans, the poppies—
each river and rock and drop of rain—
they all carry it.

If you’re not sure how to start fighting these forces, remember that resistance and revolution against these oppressive systems aren’t just about what we do—they’re also about what we refuse to do.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed—by the violence, the destruction, the deep disconnection—you’re not alone.
It’s meant to feel that way.
The forces behind environmental collapse, exploitation, and oppression depend on us feeling powerless.
They survive by making us believe nothing can change.

It reminds us we belong to a living community that meets our needs freely.
Our belonging breaks their hold—they wither in the presence of real relationship.

Capitalism and colonization were built to disconnect us.
They survive by severing us from the land, each other, and ourselves.
Reconnection—with people, native plants and ecosystems, the land, and our bodies—breaks their spell.

Native plants are what make a place itself.
They hold the memory of billions of years—
They carry memories of their land,
their climate, their two-legged,
four-legged, flying, and rooted relatives;
their neighbors, visitors, and guests
who shaped them—
and whom they’ve shaped in return.
