Tension

Where do you stand?

Billie Wind lives here

and here

and here

she finds some tools, and makes others

She practices old ways and new

and makes new friends

She’s balancing tensions

taking risks playing it safe

caring for others being taken care of

following traditions leading her own way

listening to people listening to the earth

seeing literally seeing metaphorically

exploring new worlds knowing her home

using existing tools making her own tools
