Leaping forward as a response-ability in the moment of fractious acceleration is best embraced as a stepping into collective acceleration. Forming into and out of the collective is an interruption of the supremacy of the individual. It recognizes that the time of reliance and dependence on selected individuals to lead has long passed. Instead, we are called to collective stewardship of the whole.
An indigenous child understands there is no more honorable and important a role than to be a Water Protector. We are in a time requiring many to aspire and act as Water Protectors. Understanding our relationship to water - not just as a consumer of an endless resource - is essential. Without clean water, there is no life. In places where the well-being and future of water and communities are threatened, how may we proactively join in collective action? What is your Water IQ in the place you live? Where does your drinking water come from? How healthy is your community's water and who tends to her well-being? Without water, there is no life. We take up this work to support the flow of life.
