There is so much to say about movement, displacement, change, land stewardship & right relationship with the earth, safety, agency, dignity, disaster preparedness/responsiveness, heartbreak, care (mutual & equitable care, preventative care, networks of care), home. I wonder much about how to honor and metabolize our grief, while nurturing our imagination — so that we may better prepare for, respond to, and thrive in the face of the climate crises we will continue to witness and experience in our lifetimes. 

Lately, this Ada Limón poem has been resonant for me as I cradle myself through deep heartbreak(s) — personal and collective — and, simultaneously, nurture a big personal change. I am in a crucible of sorts and, without a doubt, changing shape.
