BEAR BELLY •A potion to embody Joy & Resistance 🌱
Imagine yourself exhaling from a sweet, deep, belly breath. You’re lying on the warm land, watching SEMSEMÍYE (Bumblebees) buzz around Native Red and Pink Currant Blossoms, gathering pollen. The leaves from the Currant shrubs smell slightly vegetative, like the Tomato plants in your Grandmothers Garden.
Boughs of Cedar Trees and Arbutus leaves sway gently in the summers wind, waving. You’re nibbling on Fresh, Wild Strawberries 🍓
This, is what communing with my “Bear Belly” offering feels like. Peak summer softness, trickling streams of light into the senses- Sparking Joy. Remembering Love.
A torch bearer for H O P E 💡
This day in history, Feb 14, 1779- Captain James Cook was killed by Native Hawaiians at Kealakekua Bay, following an attempt to kidnap High Chief Kalaniʻōpuʻu. Cooks influence remains all over the world today.
Here in so called Victoria, we still have a street named after Cook and there was a statue in our inner harbour up until 2021, when Indigenous kin tore down the statue in protest on July 1, 2021 (“Canada Day”), covering the statue with red handprints and throwing it into the ocean as a sign of resistance and refusal of the colonial agenda and harm that continues today.
This was one of many paths of resistance that followed the discovery of unmarked graves at residential schools. In place of the statue, we temporarily rose a red dress, symbolizing the ongoing impacts of colonialism and the ever reaching search for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls and 2 spirit kin.
There are many forms of resistance.
Love is one of them.
Love disrupts.
Love disarms.
Love is what saves us when we die to old worlds and begin to birth new ones; centred in truth, animacy and the intelligence that lies in the force of creation, rather than destruction.
This offering comes with a gentle remembering
From my heart to yours today and all days-
Joy can co-exist, as we Resist ✊🏽 🌹
and L O V E ❤️ Liberates 💐
