Hey Mari, I’m here, too, soaking up your delightfully expressed wisdom-through-experience and marveling at your ability to transform situations that others might experience as shitstorms into magical, life-giving compost. The garden you are growing is so full of unique and skillfully cultivated flowers and medicine; I’m loving the tours here in Substack…yes! to re-enchantment!
Kalima! Thank you for chiming in with this, I'm glad to have you in the garden -- you've been a meaningful contributor to my capacity to make compost. <3
Oh, Mari! For the first time, I listened to you speaking the words written here. I have been on many sorts of zoom calls with you over the last few years, and experienced you in gatherings of quite varied purpose. So when I hear the emotion in your voiced words, there is quite a deep feel for me. And wanting to thank you for being you.
A friend with indigenous roots recently shared a phrase used among friends - ki ta ta mi in - (Cree, perhaps) meaning something like "the way you are allows me to be who I am"
