We get to have our own Poet Laureate at AR+, woohoo!<\/p>\n

Freek Sanders\u00a0 from the Netherlands, read his poem Mycelium Dreams in our kick off to 2024 organizing meeting<\/a>. Video snippet below.<\/p>\n

Freek (pronounced in the Dutch way as “Frake”) calls fellow ARTists \u201cunelected representatives” of the future. We\u2019ll take that. He also refers to the AR+ in-person Gathering last year in Bressanone\/Brixen.<\/p>\n

We’re super grateful for Freek’s offer to craft poems from learning experiences with AR+ members. We look forward to more!<\/p>\n

Mycelium dreams by Freek Sanders<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

An unelected group of representatives,<\/p>\n

gathered in the mountains of Brixen\/ Bressanone,<\/p>\n

a territory with a turbulent history,<\/p>\n

a past that continues in the present,<\/p>\n

like all pasts continue in the present.<\/p>\n

These unelected representatives,<\/p>\n

joined in their concern for transformation,<\/p>\n

in their care for the planet,<\/p>\n

in their search for community,<\/p>\n

as a microcosmos striving to nourish,<\/p>\n

in their love for,<\/p>\n

the macrocosmos.<\/p>\n

They, these unelected representatives,<\/p>\n

Started to dance and mingle,<\/p>\n

To listen and draw,<\/p>\n

Fine lines,<\/p>\n

Sketching,<\/p>\n

evolutionary horizons.<\/p>\n

Synapses created bridges,<\/p>\n

to new directions,<\/p>\n

crossing generational lines,<\/p>\n

obliterating national borders,<\/p>\n

merging relief,<\/p>\n

and weaving new patterns,<\/p>\n

into profound relationships,<\/p>\n

between these unelected representatives,<\/p>\n

and the worlds they wholeheartedly represent.<\/p>\n

In this video snippet Freek reads his poem.”<\/p>\n
