thanksgiving, uncapitalized

make room for mournful contemplation

in your gracious celebration

to make worthy impact of your appreciation

gratitude does not hide what is - in people pleasing platitudes,

delaying weight and responsibility

make your acknowledgments larger than your denials

to make evolutive your blindspots

We need gratitude now that brings us to our knees in devotion to reconciliatory motility. We need gratitude now that is deep enough to re-enchant us with wider inclusivity of what is human. Gratitude that weighs so much that we bow to what came before, what made us what we are now.

Earth. Experiences. Events.

Contributors. Creators. Creatures.

identity and affinity mental fields

ground us in solidarity, humanity and the body

and when fixated on those limitations,

our lens on reality gets too narrow

find your body again and again to find regulation for your freedom

Objection!

objection builds agreement

and evolves the whole room and system

Order!

disorder and imbalance uncorrected builds oppression and injustice

in family and system

Peace!

is change: active and dynamic.

Real safety found only in collective liberation.
