“to trust that all water touches all water everywhere”

January 26, 2021 “to trust that all water touches all water everywhere” (Alexis Pauline Gumbs, Undrowned Black Feminist Lessons from Marine Mammals, 40) IBM Joins Alliance, Developing Platform To Track Plastic Waste Globally You Donut Need A Single-Use Plastic Straw: The Biodegradable Phade Is Available At Dunkin’ And Other Locations polyhydroxyalkanoate This is my personal hell. help me. all – I arrived at an epiphany today. I am day 20 in the authentic creation program with Mandy Morris and I declared under what is your umbrella statement – that I want to end plastic production forever. I don’t know how this will happen, but I am called to do this everyday and I have been so scared of taking the leap necessary into the arena that demands my full presence. it doesn’t matter how it happens, I am not attached to any of the how’s – I am gripped by the what – the what is pushing me – the what I am here to do – the tools – ive been stressing and worrying about the how – what tool am I going to learn how to use to make this treehouse – but here’s the thing – I can’t build a tree house with just a hammer – even if I get really good at hammering things, im still going to need to learn how to use a saw, a crescent wrench, a drill…all of these tools are skills – blogging, music making, video editing, communicating, networking, building businesses, cooking, throwing parties – now that the goal has been set, I must get rid of whatever does not serve this propose. I need to figure out how to get paid to do this – maybe not right now – maybe right now I use this time to set – reset – refocus my foundations – clear out anything that does not serve this immediate purpose – give myself 5 years – break down the goals – find the people who are already working on this – make myself known to them – ask to be of service. Where am I living from? An understanding that the journey towards plastic elimination will eliminate poverty, homelessness, slaughterhouses, slavery and the war. I am working on proving that this formula runs true. A mad scientist – I am creating a proof, reverse engineering the answer to create the equation. I do not know how I know what I know but I know what I know and that is enough for me to keep doing what im doing, going where I need to go, cutting and slicing through the illusion that wants to keep me stagnant and overwhelmed with “impossibility” when I have been created literally for this purpose – for this reason – and I feel lit – literally was going write it and my brain wrote lit – loll – Locomotive was playing in my head on Sunday morning. I was going through old post it notes and found this – “It’s the lack of introspection within oneself and the degeneration of one’s ability to fully engage with their immediate social world that is frightening.” Ariel Spilsbury popped into the periphery today. Trippy stuff. I made a short movie letter to Starbucks CEO and Founder Kevin Johnson and Howard Shultz Tomorrow I will work on my climate story. Again, thank you Clubhouse. Because it’s retrograde season and a full moon, here is a large slice of joy.
