Call your spirit back. 
Joy Harjo

Have you noticed, I have, we are re-creating relatedness?

We are re-creating our connected states of mind. Our thinking patterns in which we recognize we are related and entangled with all things.

It is meta shift. Our narrative is changing from:

• Competition will solve everything
• There is no such thing as society
• For every problem, there is a solution

To:

• Co-opetition, we collaborate and co-create as well as compete
• Influential, we are part of and swayed by everyone around us. Plus, you-I-we inspire societies and the norms associated with them.
• Both-and, some things are problems to be managed, polarities and/or impossible questions.

For example, climate change—we are in relationship with:

• Food, it’s production, our consumption and our desires.
• Our world around us. We are creating the climate crises as well as we are the catalysts for thriving though it.
• Personal and psychological reponses including trauma, inherited pain and collective memory.
• Time, influenced and influential on much that’s gone before us and will come.

Your spirit … may be caught in corners and creases.
