it happens like this

like trees sharing resources through root systems,

assisted by mycelium intelligence 

like our dog who has to greet every living thing he can and especially other canines,

sniffing from end to end, saying hello and learning who knows what else, 

sharing a friendly moment

He remembers everyone he meets

Its all the seemingly ordinary moments

common interactions

in which we have the opportunity to grow our collective, 

to share something, 

to strengthen our network

to grow bonds

not just with those we already like, 

those we find it easy to enjoy being with

but with everyone.  

Revolution happens when everyone becomes our neighbor, 

the kind that take care of each other when things look grim. 

This is how it [can] happen[s].
