In this piece, Kate Suffling invites the listener to take the deepest breath you’ve ever drawn. Kate (she/her) is an occupational therapist practicing counselling in Kitchener, Ontario. She cherishes the sacred act of hearing the stories of others. She otherwise spends her time mothering, gardening, reading, and being outdoors as much as possible.
This poem appears in Geez 63: Sound the Trumpet. In this moment of massive debt overload, mass incarceration, and rampant land destruction, we ask: What would the practice of Jubilee look like today? We dream together of reparations, debt forgiveness, prison abolition, land restoration, and a whole lot of radical rest.
