let us imagine our world together–reckon and dream for Winona and globally
let us examine our own volume & voice, who we are listening to, what voices hold weight
let us move this moment through our bodies, together, spaced, in our clusters
let us make art, share art, dance, sit and meditate, let the kids play in the grass
let us draw on our massive creativity to embody communities where BIPOC, LGBTQ+ folx, and our Earth THRIVE
please feel free to imagine how you would like to be among each other this day
please feel free to be flamboyant, quiet, fierce, solitary.
