- Honoring the Life and Work of Joanna Macy (05 Mar 2026, 18h20)
- This talk occurred five days after Joanna’s death at age 96, and two days after I attended a wake for Joanna at her home, saying good-bye to her. I first met Joanna Macy in 1977, while still a student. When I moved to Berkeley, California in 1988, I helped start a neighborhood daily meditation group […]
- Seed Starts (05 Mar 2026, 18h18)
- (for my grandmother) Your place of exile was a place of magic. You fled fascism, death camps, hatred, massacres. Your home, your memories—the sum of your being vanished behind the Berlin Wall. But the calculus of your soul, its inherent wildness recast the equation: the sum of one’s being is elastic, capable of metamorphosis. Your […]
- How the Trees Teach Us to Remember (05 Mar 2026, 18h15)
- The 2025 typhoons did not arrive as singular events so much as accumulations. Wind layered upon wind, water upon water, memory upon memory. At my parents’ home, some of the oldest trees finally fell; one of them, a rubber tree we estimated was about a century old, upturned with roots rising into the air, tangled […]
- Origin Stories: Continuation and Rebirth of Deep Times (05 Mar 2026, 17h59)

- Life-Lines (05 Mar 2026, 17h56)
- Sometimes the moment is best left in the river letting it go to flow down into the waterfall of the past… Editor’s Note: There are very few spaces for those […]
- Morning Prayer at the Balloërveld (05 Mar 2026, 17h44)
- Reflection from an Ubuntu Journey with Sicelo Mbatha Wednesday, July 23, 2025 This morning, I wake up as the first light touches the land. We fold our tents, make coffee, and listen to the song thrush repeating each clear, melodious phrase twice before offering a new one. It is the second day of the Ubuntu […]
- Gifts of the Holy Outlaws (05 Mar 2026, 17h41)
- For F., kin to streams, springs, sparrows, & all suffering, dying, and rising beings When I call on the ancestors, they show me green power pulsing through bough and flower, the divine hiding in a hazelnut, ecstasy defying gravity, and eyesight opening to insight. They show me rivers dissolving land grants, and soil holding the […]
- Mothers/Witches (05 Mar 2026, 17h33)
- Shed your skin tear out stitches that bind with pointed teeth. In the bones of your bones frozen blood will flow again hot and dark. Wake up to your mother’s mother’s mother’s breath in your lungs her steaming exhales wet in your nostrils. That black snake of knowing at the floor of your stomach is […]
- Resilience of Ancestors (05 Mar 2026, 04h19)
- This essay is an excerpt from Carolyn Flynn’s book, forthcoming in August 2026:  The Light of Ordinary Days: An Irish-American Journey of Healing and Homeland. I pulled over in Navan, Ireland, at a place where my wife Jean and I could walk down to the banks of the River Boyne. We found a place […]
- Valley of the Bears (05 Mar 2026, 04h16)
- As the waves of consciousness roll in, the misery returns among the other orientational details of the situation. This misery, somehow, is more severe than the one that tucked her into a hard and dreamless sleep. The lower-half of her body stings with a round of fresh bites. Her right forearm, strewn for however many […]
