    Black belt, small snake. Native flowers transferred from your yard. Cardboard for days. Knotweed seeds preemptively taken out of circulation, blackberry canes cut, root balls ferreted out. I am so glad you have found me here.

    Curious ducks saying hello. Mediative reed canary grass pulling. Moving to the shade. A heron and geese. Everything in bloom.

    Field trip to ƛ̕ ax̌ʷadis (Tl’ awh-ah-dees) Park. KBA, Inc came back to see the park they helped through construction. Dear friends from Molina came to pitch in again. And as always, you were there. It was hot, there were mosquitos. We stayed in the shade, took breaks. Looked for Himalayan blackberry hiding in the salmonberry, learned bird’s-foot trefoil, avoided nettles. Talked about salmon, who are coming home very soon, talked about the relationship between plants and fish, talked about the degradation Euro-American settlement has brought to this land. Talked about healing, worked at healing. Sweaty, bitten, tired, we cooled with popsicles KBA generously shared, shared with each other, then…

    “Every autumn Black-capped Chickadees allow brain neurons containing old information to die, replacing them with new neurons so they can adapt to changes in their social flocks and environment even with their tiny brains” (from All About Birds). May we all be so open to new information.

    Famous by Naomi Shihab Nye The river is famous to the fish. The loud voice is famous to silence,   which knew it would inherit the earth   before anybody said so.    The cat sleeping on the fence is famous to the birds   watching him from the birdhouse.    The tear is famous, briefly, to the cheek.    The idea you carry close to your bosom   is famous to your bosom.    The boot is famous to the earth,   more famous than the dress shoe,   which is famous only to floors. The bent photograph is famous to the one who carries it   and not at all famous to the one who is pictured.    I want to be famous to shuffling men   who smile…

    My liberation is inextricably tied to yours, and nature awaits the revolution, too. I’m so grateful that Martin Luther King, Jr brought us together for a day to build the more beautiful world we need. Let’s keep going. Read Martin Luther King, Jr’s Letter from a Birmingham Jail (1963).Learn more about King and beloved community.Nature needs liberation as much as we do.

    Last work party of 2025. A fern freed from encroaching creeping buttercup, a willow from the thorny embrace of Himalayan blackberry canes. We find stories in a shard of glass, the metal cap of a fence post, a rusted hatchet. A snake rests in a gentle hand. We made a difference.

― Pope John Paul II

“Even a wounded world is feeding us. Even a wounded world holds us, giving us moments of wonder and joy. I choose joy over despair. Not because I have my head in the sand, but because joy is what the earth gives me daily and I must return the gift.”
― Robin Wall Kimmerer, Braiding Sweetgrass
