This is 38. ✨
In year 38 I lay down the struggle to prove myself worthy to embark. I give up the urgency to catch up on time that has somehow felt like it was running out since I was 11 years old. Of weaving through a labyrinth in search of an illusory center that would initiate me into becoming who I was meant to be. I give up the two decades long quest for the revelation that would finally introduce me to my “real” life.
In year 38 I give up burning out my light in the struggle just to stay warm. I leave behind constant exhaustion and abuse of my body. I refuse to beg and plead for my own agency and I refuse to hide from my own power. I lay down my hatred and fear of money.
I take forward into 38 the profound relationships and connections I make everywhere I go that work in synthesis for our mutual healing and for our creation of the new world and models of community care. I prioritize my needs and desires and I build my life around pleasure. I let inspiration lead and it takes me to places and measures of abundance I’ve never imagined I could have. I take forward my power to co-create art that stirs and shakes hearts awake and is a living vessel for the healing of myself and others.
I stand in my sovereignty. As a human being who has a right to THRIVE, to have pleasure, to create , to say yes or no without fear. Money is no longer an obstacle to creating the world we want to live in. I stand for the rights of all beings and all livings things to be protected, to rest, to have health in spirit, mind and body.
In year 38 I stand in my power to bring forth all that is within me while being fed and nourished from the inside out. I no longer wear my soles thin walking a labyrinth, waiting for arrival at some apogee of truth. I am Truth. I am the labyrinth and I am the center. I always have been. And so it is. ✨ (A Manifesto for Year 38) #iamthecenter #year38 #happybirthday #labirynth #walkingthelabyrinth #manifesto #sovereignty #reclaiming #birthday #iamworthy #pleasure #abundance #surrender #layingdown #forward #standinginmypower #buildingthenew #pleasure #power #givingup #2020vision #nomoredeprivation #nomorehiding #abundance #nourishment #truth #onwardh
✨ My power is in presence.
In this moment I am.
I am alive, I release, I become.
In this moment, I feel my body.
I feel earth beneath me.
I feel the cool night air.
I breathe in the dark.
In this moment.
No other moments exist.
And all moments exist.
I am not who I have been.
I am not the choices I have made.
I am not the culmination of moments past,
I am this one.
I am here.
✨
My power is in presence.
In this moment I am.
I breathe, I am unfolding,
I am unbroken, I am whole.
In this moment,
I feel tiny drops on my skin,
I feel the magic of night.
I smell it, taste it, I am alive in it.
I am it.
In this moment,
No other moments matter,
No-thing matters,
Except what I choose now.
I choose to be here. ✨
In this moment,
I see, I know, I feel.
My full power is in presence.
In this moment I become,
In this moment I am home.
I feel the wet grass,
I crouch low and listen
For earthworm song.
In this moment
I breathe myself.
I am dissolving,
I am becoming,
I am born.

Call to all artists!! North Bay Organizing Project is curating an art show to bring awareness and support to the Rights of Mother initiative! It is going to be an awesome event and we need artists to submit work! The theme is around re-envisioning our relationship with Earth, what does right relationship look like and how can we build a bridge to get there? Art is a powerful tool for transformative change. In this pivotal time in our history as a species art of all kinds is desperately needed to stir us, ignite us and help us vision the future.
I am excited to submit 3 pieces of my own work to this show - two older pieces and one brand new one I am working on specifically inspired by the Rights of Nature movement!
Share this with all of your artist friends and family!
More about The Rights of Nature Campaign:
"The wildfires highlight the impact of current practices on the poorest and most vulnerable people of Sonoma County including our elders, our immigrant communities, renters, and communities of color.
We know that as a community, we are not alone – that all over the state, the nation, and the globe, the impacts of climate change are overwhelmingly borne by the most vulnerable.
The Justice for the Environment task force has spearheaded a campaign for the Rights of Nature. The Rights of Nature identifies ecosystems and natural communities not merely as property, but as entities that have an independent right to exist and flourish. Laws recognizing the rights of nature transform the status of natural communities and ecosystems from things to be owned into rights-bearing entities with privileges that can be enforced by people, governments, and communities.
It is not enough to build an equitable future. We must build an equitable now." Check out @northbayorganizingproject to learn more or get involved!
