2019-2020 is a time of personal and professional transition. After 5 years in Boston I will leave with my partner to spend time with family and pursue new work opportunities outside of the time-for-money capitalist exchange. My hope is that the next year will give me opportunities to help create a new world in which my ability to take space from paid work and unlearn dimensions of capitalism will be possible for everyone. The following are some of the quotes and songs that have inspired me in this time of transition.
Nature has taught me so much about moving with the seasons.
That we need to honor times of harvest and times of rest.
That the frenetic pace of doing, doing, doing without being present with each other and the season we are in,
what is happening around us,
is unnatural and counter to life.
-
Nothing is required of me more than being, and creating.
Simultaneously being present with who I am, who we are as a species.
And creating who we must become, and within that who I must become.
-
The only way to deal with an unfree world
is to become so absolutely free that your very existence
is an act of rebellion
-
We can rise with the fire of freedom
Truth is the fire that burns our chains
We can stop the fire of destruction
Healing is the fire running through our veins.
-
I step into the flow and then I let it go
I Open my eyes
My heart
And my soul
I surrender
-
We have forgotten where we came from,
we don't know where we are,
and we fear where we may be going.
Afraid, we turn from the glorious adventure of the pursuit of happiness
to a pursuit of an illusory security in an ordered, stratified, striped society.
....
We must believe that it is the darkness before the dawn of a beautiful new world;
we will see it when we believe it.
-
Plant the seeds of the future in the present.
- Anarchist slogan
Get really good at being intentional with where you put your energy,
letting go as quickly as you can of the things that aren't
part of your visionary life's work.
