I've been blowing past my weekly reminders of reflections since the hospital visit. Today's says. "I commit to sharing something that's helping me get unstuck in the face of oppression and injustice this week."

Last month i signed up with Southerners on New Ground to commit to "door knock" at my neighbors. I'm not as ambitious as they are, but it gives me some accountability to others on a commitment to walk down the private road across from my house and re-connect with one couple and at least connect with the household i walk by almost daily. Then i want to connect to the two houses closest to on the road proper.  If i meet people beyond that, it will be fabulous, but having a connection to a few neighbors lays the groundwork for mutual aid.

I am also going to the Hands Off protest in Pittsboro on Saturday. It's going to be 86° F??!!?? Ugh. And then i need to be ready on the following Tuesday to protect the blueberries from a frost or freeze. Ah, spring.
