Change

SPRING 2020 -

Dear friends. Here we are.

A few weeks into these deep changing times. Where are you now? Where do you find yourself? What is this time bringing you?

One of the original meanings of the Greek word “krisis” is a "turning point in a disease, that change which indicates recovery or death". In the 15th century it came to mean a "vitally important or decisive state of things, point at which change must come, for better or worse”. Crisis is the time when there is no choice but change…

All of our leaves gone, our defenses down
with what we have left, pared away 
to our most essential being in this moment

inside us, becoming who we are born to be

Sometimes we stand together, within reach of one another
