A couple weeks ago, some colleagues and I gathering to begin a conversation about how we could work together around resilience and adaptability in our lives and communities. Here’s a poem that surfaced as a result of that conversation:
Yet another transition
another fucking transition
an end for a beginning
where kin matter
where the story you carry matters
because it shapes how you show
your self
so who are you shadow boxing?
yes, its scary to pay attention
to what’s happening now
to flick the switch on
alone or together
and to have the future we want
the light must be on
let’s take turns waking up
to sustain awakeness
