My way with Money

My way with money

My way with money in this service is through reciprocity and service. I have two beliefs. One, is that if these offerings are meant to be, they will be supported. This can come in many forms. Just this morning, I received a text from out of the blue, asking for just this kind of experience. I’ll take that as a yes!

Two, I believe that reciprocity is the lost art of kinship. When we know the people in our community, we honor what they bring in trade, or support that is relational and rooted in a deep trust. But modernity and the reality of money is a poor substitute for this kinship. My intention is to build more kinship and not eschew money, because indeed, it is a tool for living. So here is how I intend to use it:

Donations are welcome and appreciated.

What does my donation support?

• the time and attention required to create offerings

• the inclusion of all, regardless of resource

• the dream of another way of being in relationship through kinship and community and mutual aid

• the lifeway of service and ongoing learning that sustains it
