Indigenous Krenak (Brazilian) educator and activist Ailton Krenak reminds us, in his moving essay collection titled Life is Not Useful, that we “can’t eat money” (p. 1). This, of course, is true materially and symbolically.

And so we find ourselves in the midst of late stage capitalism, with the fallacies of this democracy laid bare. One pressing question is then, “what can we eat?” By “we” I mean all of us: all living things. A related question becomes, “how do we create and sustain communities that practice wellness for all participants?”

I want this blog to be a record of my wonderings, observations, thoughts, and insights as I engage in conversations with the biosphere (and beyond) in search of answers to these questions.
