This was very inspirational, Sarah. I gained a global consciousness that was not there before Covid, when Italy was the first to experience the hospital overwhelm of this pandemic. Since that time, I have felt so connected to everyone else in the world, and this will be my starting point for being an imagination samurai!

That is the best gift from Covid I have ever heard. I love that it created that sense of global connection for you Lissa--what a perfect starting point for an imagination samurai!

Sarah, I LOVE this piece! So much of it resonates--the life energy that imagination provides, the analytical v. intuitive, and your deep reverence for this planet. "Gaia, the soul of the world, is my tribal leader." Swoon.

Yay! I know how you feel--each day of challenging news reminds me I need to be vigilant and not let my fears of what might possibly happen overtake my visions of a loving future that makes room for everyone to feel safe and included.

Another excellent and timely essay, Sarah. You are so right that our imaginations will be more essential than ever in the months ahead, to envision and help create the future we want for our lives and our world.

I have also been thinking about “taking back@ words and symbols (like the flag). I love your example of taking back the meaning of patriotism, and connecting it with the earth. Beautiful.

Thank you!
