breana begins with body awareness

and then offers invitations

to witness

hold

and put down the grief

with what distance might you be able to attend to this grief, today?

breana reflects on the gifts kimberly, their mother, offered in her lifetime:

// walking in the legacy of self-authorship

// resting in community

// receiving + giving generosity

Daisy shares a song + an invitation ~~~

right relationship with change

cling

hey you! with the legs!

land based traditions // farmers

EARTH TRUTH

shaking the piñon

notice of greed

temporary

we grieve immediately

kindness eases change

i n t r o d u c t i o n s

truth -- big T little t

abundance of the EARTH

economic power // collective "agreement"

delusion

the dharma

pleasure TRAPS

status // costumes

self-harm

d r a m a q u e r q u e

being Black in Baby Q

screaming in the public pool

grace

making mistakes
