exactly 1 year ago we were separated traumatically for 3 days n my Spirit was scared so far out of my Body it felt like someone hacked my memories like something else possessed me
there is something sacred about 72 hours
you See?
almost every day since I have spent experimenting in the process of returning Home — bc somehow its Been 5 years away choosing me n the facets of my identity that deserve reparative restorative intentional honoring constantly
but my feet Know the way to this Living Water
this forgiving land can hold my wrath my joy n my tears it holds me n affirms me in the ways I sought in vain from the humans around me
this soil speaks to me Lovingly even in my absence
I learned how to Be me here n how to feel actual Belonging under these watchful trees
I am so thankful for my Great GrandMothers Timing
for the opportunity to correct these Timelines with Samadhi
for the meaning of this day, Juneteenth, for the Dakubetede, the Takelma, for all of the elevated liberating ancestors that walk with me
for the herbs n the hands that hold me
through the thresholds of curse breaking
of genius n insanity
my multidimensional families
Earth-tending Heart-mending Revolution-stewarding
The (re)Birthwork—ing
thank you for witnessing
may we all get Free
& so it is + will Be.
