there is a lot more to the story

stories and art
reconnecting with land and each other
this is how we will find our way through the pain
stories and art saved my life
stories and art taught me how to be
stories and art changed me
this is what the fourteenth circle was all about
we also touched on death, being indigenous, ancestors, connection to place,
memory, the guilt that we carry through our ancestors, the longing for connection to land,
patterns in history and cultures.....you will find the truth in the patterns.
patterns don't lie
it is wonderful to sit in circle and have the space to discuss these kinds of things.
it is inspiring and invigorating to make a film with people
this is what I love....collaboration, teamwork, and brainstorming
fitting our stories together
finding the thread that weaves our stories side by side
this is how we are going to make it through the next few years
through the awakening
through the crisis

together

with compassion in one hand and insight into our radical interdependence with all phenomena in the other hand
these are our tools
I would also like laughter, creativity, innovation, and courage in my toolbox
we are in training
body mind and spirit
hear the call
begin to exit and open your eyes
join the movement for life
for change
for love
for light
you are powerful
you are divine
hear the call
answer the call
