To all my relations,
Having this land is beautiful. Coming here makes me feel free. Being away from the city, the noise, and the mess makes me feel good. It is important we keep places like this for our families and friends. To ground us and remind us it will all be okay. It feels good to only hear birds and nothing else. We must own places like this for ever to ground us and our children. Coming here for the first time is blissful, I felt like I was home even if I didn’t know anyone, it felt like I was having a family reunion. Take the time to enjoy the nothingness with yourself and the spirits of your ancestors around you. Breathe the air and heal.
