The earth holds us, the earth has always held us. Some of us are still connected to our ancestral lands and traditions while some of us have been displaced by violence, forced migration, a changing climate and yet we all find ourselves in new and unknown landscapes. Whatever the mechanism of our arrival may be, the work for each of us is remembering. This message is meant to remind us, that no matter where we are, the earth holds us dear and already provides us with everything we could ever need.
