Instagram post 17868615707014311 So proud and so much love for these three – my mom, my sister, my niece – new Gramma, new Mama, new magical baby girl, Reina! 🥰

Oh my goodness she's so awesome and. amazing.

It's been an intense and heavy summer in so many ways – but – this beautiful, glowing little one has brought and shares such joy, levity, lightness, love, smiles, laughter, wonder and so much more. 

I get the feeling the future is gonna be good. 

And I'm gonna help make sure it will be.

Some days you'd just stand under a bush and the huckleberries would rain down endlessly.

You could pick til your arms were tired and your hands stained red to the bone and not make a dent.

In fact, as you picked the biggest ones, you could watch the other ones grow plump right before your eyes!"

Instagram post 17849327417110586 There's not a lot I can say about racism, or the revolution, that's not already being said, far more effectively, by many others right now.

There is one thing I would like to share towards healing and conflict resolution.

This is the practice of Nonviolent Communication.

I've been a student of this conflict resolution practice for six years, it is effective, empowering and deeply healing.
. 
NVC is way to update your language and your communications – shifting from "power-over" to "power-with". A way to shift from domination to cooperation.

A way to resolve conflict with others, and conflict within yourself.

A way to acknowledge, connect and build the common ground we all share.

A way to resolve conflict within communities, businesses, government, and other large groups

A way to resolve conflict with relatives, neighbors, co-workers and others close to you.

A way for all needs to be met.

Central to the practice is a deepening of awareness and engagement with empathy

NVC is akin to learning a new language. It is vast, multifaceted and takes practice.

However, even the basics are healing, empowering and encourage connection and transformation.

There are many resources for Nonviolent Communication online, and in-person all around the world. Books, video, podcasts, lectures, practice groups and workshops are available.

One primary resource is the book "Nonviolent Communication: A Language of Life", by Marshall Rosenberg.

There are many related videos on YouTube, and an old course by Marshall Rosenberg on Spotify that offers helpful starting points.
.
***To be clear: in sharing this and speaking on empathy, I am not suggesting any kind of "both sides" or "whataboutism"
.
There is an element in NVC regarding the need for "protective use of force" in some situations. "These days" is certainly one of those situations – and I absolutely support the movement to end racism, fascism and police brutality.

Check into Nonviolent Communication.

It will improve your life and the lives of those around you.

It might even save your life.

Please feel free to chat NVC related questions or experiences in the comments or DM.

Deep Gratitude.

Strong Love.

Peace.
Instagram post 17958324604324426 Pretty much saw it all happen. And it happened fast. Large bird chasing a small bird. Both whacked the window. Large bird fled the scene. While the small bird lay in the grass. Juvenile Wilson's Warbler.
Shocked and gasping.

Scooped 'em up. Gently held. Heartbeat pumping palm. Hung out for hours. Catching breath. And I sang, to him or her, like an honor. To sing to a bird.

And slowly s/he rose. Tried to fly but just flopped. My hands a temporary nest and launch pad for four attempts at flight.

Built a lil' sanctuary, sawdust, cones and branches. Placed the wee Warbler there and s/he sat quite content. Again for hours.

After time, went to check and... Gone.

Learned to fly.

Instagram post 17927644318378063 Time for my mandatory, yearly selfie checkup. 🔄 #Hi!
Instagram post 17872017943726295 "People and Nations are opening. Entering: States of Open-Endedness. Certainly. Heart. Mind. Eyes — opening."
.
This had begun streaming, from somewhere, to everywhere, recently. Randomized. Nuanced. Like birdsong. Was only that short while when folks tried to figure it out, claim it, spin it, or whatever. Was hard to remember the before time.

The Beacon, of course, was invigorating. Soothing. Had it been going forever? Where did it come from? No matter. No worries. Everyone understood it. Everyone embraced it.
.
"The Grand Re-Opening Wow. GROW! People and Nations are opening. Heart. Mind. Eyes — opening."
.
It had been so exciting to see the reset sweep through different places. Like the virus had, but totally opposite. First few reports of the changes were sensationalized, meme'd, baited and debated, was the custom at the time.

But as it spread, as hearts and minds did blow open in all those unexpected and fluorescent ways, there was just no question.

Actually that was surprising, too. No more questions. Just all the answers. Or most of 'em, far as I could see.

Instagram post 17847258230108197 "I do not fear the virus, the changes, the government, nor the disaster capitalists."
.
He retreated, somehow, someway. Into the forest, deep, slightly. Lit the mapacho. Inhaled, short, efficient. Exhaled, continued.
.
"I do, however, carry a certain respect and awareness for it all – much in the way I do not fear traffic, but I respect it and keep aware of it, when on the road."
.
So stange to hear this snake's road report.

Then he sliced, slithered, slipped into aether. Colorful, present, demonstrating his teacher.

Still, I couldn't quite get it or reach it, full time dreaming awake so new to me.

With a leaf he began the heart surgery.

Instagram post 17854231441942188 What day is it?
.
"Brace yourself with ceremony".
.
Apparently – call the question, get the answer.
.
"COVID or CO-VIDA!"
.
Said the Pandemic Panther.
.
"Proceed and glean, listen and flow. Build what you know. Maintain the circle."
.
How will this end?
.
"Never does, my friend."
.
"You might pretend, we all do, time to time, see it through. One thing one can do. Dig in, build anew. Join the plants, adapt, arise and continue."
.
Oh like veer into slowness, spring into action?
.
"Yes, that right there is where you find your traction."
