Not Bernie’s best photo…

… he’s a little down in spite of his long walk on this beautiful fall day. 

He was shut in the bedroom so he wouldn’t get upset when I led a few people in a zoom call growl and howl this morning. Warmed them up a bit with some snarls and hisses, but am convinced that folks in this culture need more practice growling, howling, and keening. Good for the nervous system, and helps express our grief and rage so we don’t spiral into fear.
