If We Want To Have A Sense of Belonging


My mind has been chewing on this
since I heard it this weekend.
Listening to someone 
from an indigenous lineage
describe the impact of colonization
and the subsequent healing from
recovering their sense of belonging
and cultural identity was moving.
It seems to me, so many threads weave
us back to the land...
to the ground beneath our feet...
our actual barefoot feet,
and our relationship with our
physical body interdependent with
this earth, each other, and with all 
who live upon it with us.
Entanglement indeed.
