I wonder how relational repair (or perhaps regeneration) is embedded in the ontological design that is possible. Our capacity to hold steady in the face of the relational repair that is needed at multiple levels: ourselves, with each other, our nonhuman kin, and the planet itself.

to be steadfast
but not stern
at the bow
knowing that the waves
are endless
and the sea is vast
what can I say
to the little ones
stowed below
grasping at their mothers' breasts?
I'll tell the men
to sing a lullaby
and let the wind
sing the sails
what we seek
is not fame nor fortune
nor a promised land
we seek each other
in just this way
as the water surrounds us
and calls us to the depths
adventure on the high seas!
Thank you Bonnie. Your poetry rings deeply with me...steadfast not stern; we seek each other...
