Yes! What colorful textured exquisite threads are showing-up to weave this strong community tapestry. If we think of SB as a loom and think about how our identity—the fabric of our being—is shaped and made up by those who are woven into our lives — it becomes more important to find the courage and show-up for each other and share insight, stories+++
And we have been thinking about how we are relational animals — intertwined in a vast web of relationships and connections that shape and inform our very existence. Our ability to learn and grow is dependent on the community that surrounds us, a tangle of threads that we are inextricably woven into. It's awe-inspiring to consider the profound impact that each of us has on the tapestry of this community, and the importance of our individual contributions in creating a beautiful and vibrant whole.
I am in awe of this interdependent web of relationships, and let us recognize the fundamental need for storytelling in our evolution as human beings. Together, we can weave a tapestry of beauty, strength, and resilience, honoring the diverse and exquisite threads that make up our community.

In regards to this most recent piece Erik said: Following some particularly heavy exchanges about recent increasingly somber Climate Change predictions, I felt the need to honor the reality that Mother Nature remains in charge, not only of the big climate picture but every crawling thing from bacteria to the giant redwood.
Seemed important to point out the gift of life in a thousand guises and adknowledge a human history of total disregard for Mother Nature's endless bounty.

Mother Nature was still firmly in charge until about 225 years ago. The Industrial Revolution has been a very mixed blessing.
