“We are each other's harvest; we are each other's business; we are each other's magnitude and bond.”
— Gwendolyn Brooks
Daily Practice: The stretch is in the connecting. Life can feel so much easier when we are totally in control and doing it "our" way. The war economy works hard to separate us; your form of resistance is to connect, to be in each other's business. The work is in calling out abuse and lies, to speak to what is happening and not avoid confrontation. The local peace economy grows through refreshing and healing connections. Today watch where you want to walk away when you could be enriching a connection, nourishing a bond and learning what is real in this moment between you and another. Step in! Bond!
