Straws and Mist
From Marlise: I found an old conversation between Lace and me, and there are ample connections to our recent discussions on self care, forced scarcity, holding others, and the droplets we give out. I am adding connecting commentary throughout but the conversation itself stands on its own. As a note, the conversation does hold spiritual…

The Six Tenets – A Re-Introduction
When I wrote the intro to the Four Tenets over a year ago, it was just after I had witnessed the resurrection of the orange tree; and had seen green shoots where there had, for years, only been barren branches. That was during a challenging time for me, my staff, and for the community of…

A few weeks ago, right before Father’s day, I had the pleasure of touring a local distillery–San Diego is becoming known for small batch brown stuff–and saw the still, and all the grains, and the barrels. Saw the hands of the men in plaid shirts who hoisted sacks of rye and wheat, who did all…

Early July Ask
It’s the beginning of July and time for the Early Ask. It’s Catherine Seaver, and as I sit here thinking about Lace, the leadership team, and the Lace on Race community I’m reminded of the work of weeding, and gardening, and tending that gardens need.
