RETURN TO THE ROOTS

How do roots inspire us in the midst of crises,

whether they be environmental, within our communities,

or in our own personal, spiritual lives?

How can our ancestral and unfolding place-based relations tether us to hope?

How do emerging roots allow us to move forward through intercommunions of persons,

communities, religions, spiritualities, and scientific practices?

And ultimately, we ask, what if everything we need is right below our feet?
