Guide Us Into the Bioregional Future

Each new disaster brings my own healing process to a deeper level… as I grieve all that is dying and place my heart in the future that comes after collapse.

Yesterday I felt a new sensation as I watched photos flow across my information feeds about the destruction in Los Angeles, California. There was a sense of relief that the global system is moving into a new stage of its dying process.

This doesn’t mean I am glad for the destruction. It is a more subtle feeling. After watching hurricanes hit New York, wildfires burn the entire continent of Australia, floods wipe out towns in Appalachia and Spain, and more — all in a crescendo of increasing frequencies and intensities throughout the last twenty years — I am ready for the life-destroying globalized system to finally take its own life.

We are close to people all over the world who are organizing their local bioregions. These are people who care deeply about life. They do their best to nurture the health of rivers, forests, mountains, wildlife, soils, and human communities. Part of their journey is to step away from globalized civilization and lean into planetary consciousness.

After Hurricane Helene hit Asheville a few months ago, many people that I know jumped into action to create collapse resilience and bioregional patterns both during and after the destruction. I hope the same will happen in Southern California.

So i chose this photo of a match flame burning in the darkness as my meditation this morning. As the old world burns, may there be light that guides us into a bioregional future.

Onward, fellow humans.
