Take one look at the headlines and you can see that we're living in some complicated, scary times. Monsters are in power. Half the country is under their spell. And the rest of us are wondering what we can do.

On this episode, I find myself wondering, remembering, calling on the knowledge of my elders, praising the sacredness of my backyard, carving a poem of hope, and leaning into the realness that we all carry within our souls. There are things we can do. There are always valiant, beautiful, humble, inspiring, deeply human, things we can do.

Thanks for joining me around the sacred fire. Together, we can make it through anything.
