octavia butler’s words in parable of the sower, written over 20 years ago, echo so clearly this morning — there’s no room for despair, only rest and then relentless action. the state, the systems in place, they’re not here to save us. our communities, our wisdom, our interconnectedness is where we’ll find our way forward. there are prescient frameworks available, should you choose to look for them. octavia’s work is a fertile place to start, along with looking to organizers who have done this time after time. we’re stepping into an era where imagination, joy, empathy, strategic rage, and radical determination will shape our survival. as a dear friend reminded me this morning of thich nhat hanh’s tender saying: no mud, no lotus. 🪷
