Alaska

This past June, I went to Juneau, Alaska which was a powerfully moving journey. I have been immersed in studying climate change. It is horrifying. When the opportunity to go to Juneau presented itself, I immediately said yes — I wanted to visit the glaciers while they still exist.
Many thanks to the artists, musicians and contributors included in this piece: Jeris — Binaural beat, chimes Haskel — slide guitar Smojos — djembe Juskidink — chimes ( @freesound.org) Davidou — whales ( @freesound.org) Benmaesound — eagle ( @freesound.org) Sackjo22 — bass, field recording of Mendenhall Glacier Melt, and vocals (uploaded separately) This work is more fully explored with video and additional text at The Imaginal Cell which is my latest project. ALASKA I was called to Alaska where I was sent to grieve In the majesty of light and land, Of infinity To the heart of the mother, the font of seed Where it feels like life was incepted I was called to grieve. So many shades of green, We sailed a sequined sea where Even the whales seemed small against the backdrop of trees reflected in the water … softly shimmering . .the light… the water . . ..the calf her mother. . The show off breaching The land stretching farther than I could imagine I want to go there to breathe in the clean air We heard the eagles sing Then we saw them by the dozens a pile of abundance embodying how we’ve been Eagles by the dozen a pile of abundance Feasting on what’s rotten Embodying how we’ve succumbed Eagles by the dozen The water meets the land where the earth has been cleaved by glaciers migrating This water is your dream This water it will kill you if you go in fast or deep I was called to Alaska where I was sent to grieve Faces in the forest accompanied me A dog for protection howled for me Berries and glacier water nurtured me Life growing abundantly

Editorial pickTake a mystical trip to Alaska with SackJo22. Her immersive spoken word piece turns into a groovy djembe melody and then transforms back into a provocative spoken word. Jeris, Haskel,and Smojos accompany her musically with sound effects contributed by Juskidink, Davidou, and Benmaesound of Freesound. Kara Square
