I feel, breathe, perceive connections.

An ally with nature —

not a human who is high and mighty,

not a healer who presumes all control.

I do not have complete agency,

and neither does nature.

We are in it together,

harming or healing,

breaking or repairing.

Connect the dots — Now!

Before they free-fall,

shattered beneath us all.
