Hello Friends

Hello friends
Where does
the inquiry sit
in you?

Transformative
Inquiry
asks the question
many times

But you’re
Trolling
for an answer

Are you asking
In an
Open stance?
Or with fishy
judgment?

_____________

De-skilling
war
Is a practice of deglobalization
An alchemy 
             of precision, 
                            of waiting 
                                       and waiting

No art 
            without choice.
We can only carry 
                         so much baggage.

No choice is
An indulgence

Be 
          here 
                       now

Feet grounded 
             Open stance

Never vanquished

_____________

The power of no

No justify
Know peace

No righteousness
Know comfort

No privilege
Know perspective

_____________

Thinking
stops
feeling
present

Body
begins
not in your
navel
but in the
horizon

To recenter
humanity
In alignment with
the universe,
to other beings
Is the long arc,
is the work,
is to be the stewards
of the future story
