gratitudes, June 2019

gratitudes:

sitting on a back porch dancing to rhythms from 2 parties in bk, in my slippers and drawers

i got to flip a table today

i got to eat a perfect collective meal tonight, cooked by a man i adore and trust, held by beloveds who require no performance, after a hard day’s work, with no cooking or cleaning expected from me (i learned this gratitude from the relief of a participant who delighted in not having to clean up just one time after doing it for a lifetime)

my tribe is massive…it feels like love, and it feels bigger than any relational web of haters on earth

trusting the people means i get to be of the people…trust and belonging are a dance

i’m learning about teaching people to move through the hard parts to get to magic: arrive as you are, be honest, be brave, be uncomfortable, be overwhelmed, find your edges and boundaries, find your roots, stay, celebrate, be your whole self, stay, love you, and then, love everyone

i’m learning to create spaces where babies, elders, peers and ancestors can collaborate on the present to cocreate the future…it feels good

dosing myself with solitude makes it possible to receive the blessing of prayed-for community
