Thought I'd share some inspiration today. I wrote this a little while ago.

RISE FROM THE RUINS

For years I've been documenting my pain and my misery
Lyrically expressing my pain and my history

Seeing so much death, it got to me mentally
It seemed to me drugs would be the logical remedy

Rising from the Ruins I started to redirect my passion
Plotting and planning my actions to make s**t happen

everything starts with a person demanding action
action Spreading and sparking a chain reaction

Made a plea for you and me and it's impassioned
It's time for you and me to live a life without
Distractions

It seems to me this thing we got is gaining traction
Recovery in the community just got more attractive

Got to rise up when you're living on your knees
got to rise up take a chance for you and me
Got to rise till to we're living to be free
got to rise up rise up

Yesterday’s Bangor Overdose Awareness Day virtual hybrid event was the result of an unprecedented collaboration of harm reduction and recovery organizations that moved through historical organizational and cultural barriers to produce an event that celebrated community, held a space for grief, and shared a time of healing. It was a group that successfully navigated and quickly adjusted to rising COVID concerns, and prioritized the safety of the most vulnerable among us, while managing to connect with unhoused neighbors and people in active use, and providing a portal to resources for those on their recovery journey.

We are proud to have been part of producing this event. Special thanks to Steve Knockwood for navigating and fueling so much; Jill Hendersen for graphics and communication; June Evergreen for fundraising and organizing; Willie, Kari, and Kole for organizing outreach; Marshall and Erika for planning and collaboration, Bob and Bitz for their joyful fundraising, Courtney, Ashley, Zoe, and so many others who work tirelessly for the community, and contributed to making this happen.

Kci woliwon to Wabanaki Public Health & Wellness, Health Equity Alliance, Dignity for Opioid Users, Needlepoint Sanctuary Bangor, Church of Safe Injection, Beyond Addiction Mosaic, Together Place Peer Run Recovery Center - MMHC, and Penquis MainStream Financial. Special appreciation for the time of healing, prayer, and song by Greywolf Joseph Sapiel Sr.
