Healing Us Both
By choice I have returned to a place I swore up and down I would never return to. By choice I decided to live on land that has endured so much grief and pain. Two generations of my lineage have lived here, including myself. This land has seen upheaval, poisoning, deforestation, senseless feuds, and abuse. She has been cut down, molded, and reformed. Her waters run red with clay as if she is eternally bleeding. Trees have grown to contort around cold metal structures. Her soils stripped of nutrients. Amphibious life can only temporarily exist before being choked out by excessive iron deposits. Fungus is limited; community severed. Yet she has lived on. She seems to thrive but has only merely survived.

Letter to a Lighthouse
There is a kind of magic that exists in our world. It exists within us. Our whole lives we are urged to search for it while the key sits in our pocket. As this world is waking up we are being called to find what we’ve forgotten. You know that popular plot on tv shows and movies where the main character experiences a major event and wakes up to discover they’ve had superpowers all along? Well what if that was a very real thing? There’s a reason that plot sells. It speaks to something deep within our bones; stirring something that desperately longs to be awakened. The only thing in our way is the conditioning instilled in us from the time our beautiful exquisite brains begin to make sense of the world. We are told that it’s not real or impossible. But a new world is emerging. An era built on truth, unity, justice, free thinking, and humanitarianism. Hand in hand we are being called to question everything that we were told was impossible. Because we will soon learn that the impossible is only an illusion. If we can think it we can create it.
