Last week, I spent much needed solo time in nature. During this time, I became deeply aware of the wind…nature’s breath…of its connectivity to everything…of its ability to weave an individual thread to each of us, all of which compose a larger intricate web – yes, we are all connected by nature’s breath. And her breath can shift things, ever so gently and of course, not so gently. Nature’s breath carries all that we exhale, individually and as a collective…she carries the beauty and the disease…which touches the collective and all of nature. A deep reminder that we are all connected. Harmony and balance…mass imprisonment…the impact of an individual on the collective…the collective’s impact on an individual…artifacts of the collective, such as environmental policy…compassion, humanness, kindness…stress, depression, PTSD, importance of awareness and/or consciousness, disconnection from each other…feminine and masculine energies…disembodiment from nature. Yes, this is a class on criminal justice and crime policy. Feel into your graduation day…the day you become a college graduate. Visualize it…what are your emotions…your feelings? And on this day, you find yourself among the other students waiting to walk across the stage…many years of formal education culminating with those steps. While you wait, you begin talking about various experiences at IUP, classes you have taken, friends, etc, and you bring up this class… How do you explain this class…this connection between the individual and the collective? The importance of tribes, of individual energy? How do you explain this concept of balance and harmony in criminal justice policy through your lenses, based on this class? What is your role, as a college graduate to bring harmony and balance to yourself and to the collective? And yes, how do you envision manifesting that role as you begin to seek solutions for our deep injuries to the collective? And yes, your breath, what you exhale finds its way into the collective and that which you inhale, comes from the collective… As you ponder these questions, your role and responsibilities, I invite you to remember, to feel the beautiful mystery of being human, of being you on this wondrous planet of ours. Yes, you matter…yes, you matter and everything is connected…and I invite you to listen with the ears of your heart to the music. the laws of earth and objects Drew Dillinger at the core of the Milky Way there’s a black hole with a ring of blue stars around it at the core of the Milky Way there’s a black hole with a ring of blue stars around it does anyone else feel this strange music? ’cause these days kids are raised with television the religion kids are raised with television the religion kids are raised to have Nike engraved on their psyche i travel in and out the veil of tears that balcony in Memphis in my eyes gunshot in my ears in a land of weary dreams i travel in and out the veil of tears i take the poison from the poison turn the poison into passion i take the poison from the poison turn the poison into passion i have no sister but the moon and the story of the oceans and the blood of Christ like music in my veins i wander this mountainous aquatic body of the goddess tasting the bread of the present and the breath of compassion i want to know the law of the earth and objects like patterns of migration like the boiling point of water like the law that holds the moon so gently does anyone else feel this strange music?
