Mini intro: I am here because I want to dedicate my free time to explore the diverse ways we may see the world through the ecological lens, organize around our connection to the earth and our bodies, and find deep motivation to act in order to benefit fellow humans and all life and matter on earth.

A note I wrote to myself last night: Seeds do not turn to instant flowers; they have their own paths to fulfill— your tending is just as important as your surrender. Remain integral and pray to see what arises in you in reflection with more grace. Accept and adjust.

We are deeply saddened by the passing of Rep. Raul Grijalva. A true champion for the environment and frontline communities, he leaves behind an incredible legacy. Our thoughts are with his family, staff, constituents, and all who were inspired by his work.

Plants don’t want to aid you in hurting your body. There will always be a dissonance and it will always be temporary.
Their spirits are different than ours. They are painfully honest because their intelligence is unfiltered spirit.

My intent with this diary is to dialogue with my body and see how the lens of interconnectivity grows as I talk about the world the earth, people, animals and all beings as a plural body in pursuit of interconnection as the line of peace, the line of peace that will save us; I dream.

Is it just me or do awful diseases follow president Trump? I'm finding it interesting that he promised cheaper eggs and we instead are seeing an unprecedented bird flu. No cheaper eggs in the near future, if you can find them.
