Everything the Power of the World does is done in a circle
The sky is round, and I have heard that the earth is round
Like a ball, and so are all the stars. The wind, in its greatest
Power, whirls. Birds make their nests in circles, for theirs is
The same religion as ours. The sun comes forth and goes down
Again in a circle. The moon does the same, and both are round.
Even the seasons form a great circle in their changing,
and always come back again to where they were. The life of a man (or a cat)
is a circle from childhood to childhood, and so it is in everything
where power moves.
--Black Elk

return to your library.
live your praxis.
parent your babies.
pray your hardest.
make your art.
soak in music.
document your stories.
run yourself salt baths.
dance until sweaty.
let your tears flow.
be soft with yourself.
dig your hands in this earth.
wash yourself in seawater.
walk amidst grandmother trees.
root yourself there.
kiss your lover.
breathe from your belly.
sit on your cushion.
remember your laughter.
remind yourself who you are.
call your family.
gather your team.
get with your people.
lean on your ancestors.
do your work now.
do your work now.
