Let’s Roll.
We don’t need more Doomsdays;
we need more Life-days —
days we turn the dark fragrant soil and plant seeds with our kin,
days we spend sharing songs and tending each other’s gardens,
days we walk the land together and talk story and split fruit.
While we’re at it, we need more Life-nights —
nights we keep tender vigil for the birthing and the dying,
nights we dance and deliver our illusions to the Great Mystery,
nights we hold each other’s hearts and hands and dream of those yet still to come.
It’s time for us to move together in the humble ways that most glorify Life.
“If you know, why wait?
If not now, when?”
We are turning the great wheel of culture back towards the ground, towards right relationship with that which nourishes us, towards reweaving kintimacy of place.
The substrate of ritual is meaning, story, spirit, power. It is not sufficient to answer the question: “what are we doing now?” with a to-do list. We must weave the immanent truth of the aliveness of all things with the other immanent imminence that is the dyingness of all things. Only in this way do we really come to life, only in this way do we really claim our deep souls, only in this way do we turn the Great Wheel back to the real. Falseness and apathy die in the feeling embodiment of this ecstasy. In this way, we become free.
We, Mystery Workers, believe that it is time to make more explicit the workings of this regenerative ecology of earth-reverent revolutionaries, in order to nourish the mycelial web that binds us together on this land.
the vision
The Vision is of a regenerative Front Range, with thriving food-sheds, soil-sheds, water-sheds, culture-sheds, a bellwether of the decentralized movement to affirm life and our ability as humans to steward and nurture natural systems towards greater vitality and diversity.
The regenerative movement is well underway here in the Front Range, and it is the mission of The Mystery Works to proliferate the possibilities of what we can do, together - for these particular lands and beyond.
Revolution Roll Call is for drawing the ecology of our bioregional regenerative movement into explicit coherence and cooperation, and to invoke the intercession of the Mysterious forces that back Life’s cleverest immunities and kin-novations. Let’s roll.
-
We nourish the soil that feeds us by linking folks doing similar work and holding similar visions. Devotional Coworking Sessions offer a place where such meetings and weavings can happen, as we trust life to continue to reveal clever ways forward and deeper.
-
This movement is based on the depth and intimacy of real relationships. It spreads through direct contacts, among folks who share hearts, prayers, dance floors, food, healing, and sacred labors. We take each other’s hands and proceed together.
Even still, it is not a line. There is no “front.” Every center is an edge, and every edge, a center. The More Beautiful Movement is oriented towards connection, mutual nourishment, and stabilizing depths.
-
We trust the greater knowing of Life and the Land itself to support the regeneration and diverse flourishing of our land and community. None of us claims to know the wholeness of what is happening, but, rather, we aim to give ourselves to what is unfolding with presence, humility, and relationality. Life knows better than any one of us. Together, we are closer, and the Mystery abides it all.
-
Life cultures healthy substrates. Like gut flora or sourdough starter or the very soil beneath our feet, Life creates more life when the living is good, when nutrients are present, when the conditions are ripe. We aim to support Life in culturing the living here, to bloom our collective strength and diversity in support of regenerating the land here and in all places.
The only way to weave a more beautiful world is together.
We are ready,
and it is time.
