This began with a dream.

I was watching a group of enslaved people moving through a forest at night. It was completely dark. They could not use light. They could not call out. They were being chased, and fear was beginning to spread. Some of them started running in the wrong direction.

Then something changed.

Those who had found the right path began tapping on the trunks of trees. The sound was not loud. It was not meant to draw attention. It was simply present. A succession of quiet thumps that could be followed if you were listening closely.

From where I stood in the dream, I watched people stop, listen, and change their course. They adjusted their movement based only on sound and trust. I woke up unsettled, with the feeling that I had witnessed something real rather than imagined.

In the days that followed, I began writing. I kept asking myself what it would look like for our community to communicate this way again. Quietly. Deliberately. Especially in moments of chaos or danger. I wanted whatever emerged to be as simple and as dependable as those taps on the trees.

What emerged now has a name and a purpose.

At its core, this new communications architecture is a coordination framework rooted in ancestral wisdom and adapted for present-day conditions. It does not rely on social media or public visibility. It does not require fees, new platforms, applications, or specialized equipment. It works through networks people already trust and relationships that already exist. It is the modern-day epitome of a thump on a tree trunk.

And, it takes just minutes of training and from a few hours up to a few days to fully implement—just as fast as you can mobilize your network.

The framework is designed to prioritize clarity and discipline. It includes safeguards intended to protect against infiltration and deliberate attempts at misinformation. It is built to function whether it is used by a small group or across wide geographic distances.

I am sharing this with a small group of people who have expressed interest in learning more. Not everyone is meant to use this, and that is intentional.

If you feel called to explore it further, you may email [email protected]. After a brief vetting process, those who are a good fit will be invited to a private online session to learn more.

Some things are meant to move quietly.
