When I go quiet here, it’s usually because life is kicking me around.
Which is exactly what’s happening right now.

But I’m still writing.
Still reading my poetry.
Still showing up in the ways that matter.

I have to remind myself that effort counts. Even when it’s quiet. Even when it’s hard.

P.S. If you want to cheer me up (and support an indie writer), my new chapbook 𝐺𝑒𝑛𝑜𝑚𝑒𝑠 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝐿𝑖𝑒𝑠 is on Amazon. ❤️

My grandmother's kitchen table in Fairbanks was where everything began.

It was where she did her beading, wrote an entire book longhand on yellow legal pads, and gathered Alaska Native peoples from across the region over cups of Lipton's black tea. It was also where she and her friends dared to imagine something different. Those conversations became the Fairbanks Native Association, which grew into organizations that changed discriminatory policy and eventually influenced Alaska Native land claims across the state.
Lasting change begins at tables where people gather to imagine something different.

I've been thinking about this a lot lately. What does it mean to build climate work on a foundation of care and relationship? What does Robin Wall Kimmerer's principle of enoughness look like when it enters our institutions, our programs, and our daily work?

I wrote about this in an essay published last month with the CSU Salazar Center for North American Conservation. It's about democracy, stewardship, and what my grandmother's kitchen table taught me about how change actually grows.
