I am leaving social media so I will be posting some of my writings from there here, just for fun :)

A new age GIANT crystal display in town reminds me of a time when I was in a room full of people who had purchased a giant crystal and were almost worshipping it like it gave them power. And talking about how very special they were because they understood the energy of the crystal/spirituality/etc.
I wondered why they felt this way and I didn’t.
Then I realized they were literally actors and they were selling their services.
Crystals are beautiful and I understand the draw.
But no, you do not need stolen rocks from struggling countries to be spiritual or ‘healed.’
This is extracting global resources for privileged human novelty
And trying to patch up the holes fragmented culture creates.
You can remember your spiritual nature in your breath,
the magic of blood, bone and tissue animating you
in watching birds, bees, animals
trees blowing in the wind
plants holding medicine and whispers
touching earth, sweet soil
singing your heart song
making music
dancing…
All free and available to you without consumption/conquest!
When we see through a lens of ancestral knowing we not only reduce harm to others,
but we liberate ourselves and remember what is true

Crystals!
