Grounding Thoughts:

"...if someone puts out a call that you have the capacity to answer, then go, but only if you're willing to be engaged consistently over the long term. And if you're able to do so with empathy and respect, without abandoning critical awareness. Above all look to your own house; work at and from your own sites of resistance. While you do that, connect the dots; make the connections explicit." -Maia Ramnath, Decolonizing Anarchism: An Antiauthoritarian History of India's Liberation Struggle, p. 259

"Telling stories of landscape requires getting to know the inhabitants of the landscape, human and not human. This is not easy, and it makes sense to me to use all the learning practices I can think of, including our combined forms of mindfulness, myths and tales, livelihood practices, archives, scientific reports, and experiments." -Anna Tsing, The Mushroom at the End of the World: On the Possibility of Life in Capitalist Ruins, p. 159

"How do we create and proliferate a compelling vision of economies and ecologies that center humans and the natural world over the accumulation of material?

We embody. We learn. We release the idea of failure, because it's all data." -adrienne maree brown, Emergent Strategy: Shaping Change, Changing Worlds, p. 18

"We must realise that there is a great deal of value in our world that money and the economic system don’t capture. And to be able to create a genuine ecosystem that generates this value would require us to be mindful of the fact that we are part of the whole. We cannot just be individual players doing the best we can."-Ananthapadmanabhan Guruswamy, Why We Don't Collaborate

"A world that is sustainable is not one where we've somehow solved all the problems for all generations to come; it's one where we make it possible for each generation to start afresh--which means that we haven't solved the problems. But at least we can keep the show on the road--the process can carry on." -Tim Ingold, interview on Cultures of Energy
