Over the first ten days of April 2026, millions of earthlings witnessed a real-world heroic journey in real time when NASA’s Artemis II mission sent astronauts hurtling into space to orbit the moon then return to Earth. Four astronaut-heroes left homes, families, and breathable atmosphere to brave the vastness of space, change forever, and return with new insights to share with the global community.

Joseph Campbell often discussed his fascination with the 1960’s Apollo moon missions, for example in The Hero’s Journey (91-93), so I can’t help but wonder what he might make of the Artemis program. Almost sixty years have passed since Apollo 11 landed on the moon, and—mythologically speaking—the Apollo and Artemis programs present a striking contrast.

Embracing the spirit of Artemis
First, naming a moon program after Artemis makes far more mythic sense than after Apollo. While both Artemis and Apollo drive chariots of light across the sky—like today’s spacecraft—Artemis is the Greek goddess of the moon, Apollo the god of the sun. Artemis represents nature uncultivated by humans, whereasApollo embodies reason, logic, and intellect. In that sense, naming the mission Artemis better aligns with the wildness of space than with human minds. Focusing on Artemis decenters Apollo who, in our heliocentric solar system, so often takes center stage. In this case, however, he and Artemis joined forces—moon and sun, sister and brother—beautifully united in the majestic eclipse the astronauts witnessed.

Divine Feminine in the Collective Unconscious & in the Zeitgeist....
We honor you and reflect back your Love, 1,000-fold.

Mother's Day is about honoring the mothers who show up -- for their children, for their communities, for the people who need them. Renee Good showed up. On the morning of January 7, the 37-year-old poet and mother dropped her youngest child off at school in Minneapolis, then drove to a nearby street where ICE agents were detaining her neighbors. She went to bear witness -- and was shot and killed by an ICE agent. Today, her children will spend their first Mother's Day without her.

Four months later, no one has been held accountable for Renee Good's death. The Trump administration shut down the federal civil rights investigation, blocked state investigators from accessing evidence, and has fought in court to keep the gun, the body camera footage, and the personnel file of the agent who killed her out of public view. Good's car -- the car she was sitting in when she was shot -- is still shrink-wrapped in an FBI warehouse. It has never been examined.

But Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty -- the prosecutor who has jurisdiction over the street where Good was killed -- has refused to let this case disappear. She sued the Trump administration for the evidence. She opened a public evidence portal that has received over 1,000 submissions. And this week, a federal judge forced the government to begin turning over evidence from Good's killing for judicial review. "We are not giving up," Moriarty has said. "We are going to see this through."

Renee Good spent her last morning doing what mothers do -- taking care of her child, then taking care of her community. She should still be here. This Mother's Day, we honor her memory -- and the fight for justice for Renee and for every mother, every family, and every community that deserves better than this.
