Land Acknowledgment the carbon in my bones, the water flowing through me, my breath exchanged with trees the fire that fluctuates to sustain me. The land is me and I am the land she will survive without me and I/WE perish without her. Let the new season awaken your body, be reminded that we are interconnected and inseparable from the land. What is your land acknowledgment today?

“I imagine one of the reasons people cling to their hates so stubbornly is because they sense, once hate is gone, they will be forced to deal with pain... “ James Baldwin. Once again the profound wisdom of Black Q***r Folk offering a blueprint how to live honestly. It’s been rough to feel these days the grief, rage, disbelief, confusion… not the “vibes” we wish for, but rather than suppress, deny or disassociate what if I honoured and stayed with the feelings, feel the discomfort FEEL period! This is how we confront White Body Supremacy by feeling and being accountable. Let it flow friends.

It had many names before we settled on AIDS acquired immunity deficiency syndrome but for us it was a carnage, we were abandoned to die, bodies stripped of our dignity and humanity. So turning to each other was the only option, to love and care for each other, to yell in the streets and fight back, to make the world bare witness to our emaciated bodies, and the horror of their inhumanity. was birthed in this time of death and loss. A community of q***rs, sustaining their own humanity by maintaining the dignity of our bodies. Sacred intimates loving each other to death. Tending and holding eachother with a promise to never forget. I never imagined at that time I would live beyond 30, let alone find myself continuing this enduring lineage of Sacred Intimates holding space for my humanity and yours. December 1 I honour the many who died especially alone, scared wondering why they had been abandoned. My practice a dedication to our collective humanity and dignity. ***r

Friendship is the foundation of most of my significant relationships, not chemistry or a joint bank account, it isn’t marriage vows or children. It certainly isn’t limited by blood or culture lineages but rather actively choosing love. Dismantling the hierarchy of a primary romantic relationship being the pinnacle is so q***r and anti colonial, and I LOVE that. Grateful for q***r community, revolutionary community, decolonized community. ***r

“Love has never been a popular movement. And no one’s ever wanted, really, to be free. The world is held together, really it is held together, by the love and the passion of a very few people”. I’m always humbled by the humans who say yes to this work. To be witness to human’s compassionately inquiring within, to ask themselves the questions am I living my life to the fullest? What lights me up? What’s my relationship to pleasure? The most violent tool that capitalism uses is getting us to believe we are isolated and alone. That healing is an individual responsibility rather than a collective need. There’s a little more love in the world today thanks to these shiny humans.

As a first generation CND I was born here but have no roots in the land. I was raised in a home that spoke the language of my ancestors, the food and customs of my ancestors, this also contributed to my lack of belonging and the trauma of never fitting in. I whole heartedly believe that the only thing that will save our species is that more of us come home to our bodies. Until I, we can reclaim the land of our bodies that have also been colonized, I continue to be governed by fear and unprocessed trauma.
The urgency has never been greater.
Please find ways to compassionatly stay in your body, so we may be present to eachother. I am the land and the land is me.

The Thing Is …
to love life, to love it even
when you have no stomach for it
and everything you’ve held dear
crumbles like burnt paper in your hands,
your throat filled with the silt of it.
When grief sits with you, its tropical heat
thickening the air, heavy as water
more fit for gills than lungs;
when grief weights you down like your own flesh
only more of it, an obesity of grief,
you think, How can a body withstand this?
Then you hold life like a face
between your palms, a plain face,
no charming smile, no violet eyes,
and you say, yes, I will take you
I will love you, again.

“If you can’t love yourself, how in the hell you gonna love someone else?” This Rupaul quote used to prompt so much shame in me, did I love myself or rather would I ever? The truth is more like we are loved into learning to love. As I mature it becomes my responsibility to set boundaries, to care for myself and as in many cases, to re-parent myself. To be clear, not in any self sufficient, self centred and arrogant way, rather in relationship and interdependent with all beings. At this juncture of my terrestrial journey I can say I love myself, I love the human that is unfolding with grace and struggle. I am more comfortable in my skin than ever before. I’m worthy of love and community not for doing, but simply for BEING. In the light of the full moon I bare myself to say without reservation I LOVE YOU, SHAI. Full moon blessings Beauties
