I wonder if rain is scared of falling if it has trouble letting go, if snow flakes get sick of being perfect all the time each one trying to be one-of-a-kind. 

In light of the Interbeing, we are inspired by these beautiful words from the poem "Being Human" by poet Naima Penniman. This artist is a freedom-forging futurist rooted in her ancestors' brilliance. Life-long lover and defender of the Earth, Naima dedicates her creativity and community-building skills to regenerate practices towards planetary interdependence. In this stunning spoken-word performance, Naima celebrates the wonders of the natural world and humanity's connection to it.
