Tree of Many Fruits # 2: Root Runners

Pfewff. Sickness. Heartbreak. The co-creative energies that sometimes sever, sometimes soothe. Through it all, this beauty emerged. It tastes like grief and a light in the sweet darkness. The edges of flowers are clear. Enjoy.

New Film: Paying Attention

Hi Everyone! It’s with great joy–the deepest joy, which can only come from the dark places–that Elvie-dog and I share with you a new film: Paying Attention.

Now we are being hit with a global catastrophe where our elderly are at a higher risk of crossing over, and we are reaching…
