The Commons
🌍
Definition
Shared resources and spaces managed collectively for the benefit of all, not owned privately or by the state. Shared resources stewarded for life, not owned for profit.
Interpretation
The ground we stand on together. The Commons is not just land or water — it’s time, care, song, silence. It’s where the world becomes “ours.” The Commons is sacred — and reclaiming it is revolutionary. Water, seeds, air, soil — our sacred inheritance. The commons is practice and worldview.
Living Invitation
What in your life could become more shared? A garden? A space? An idea? Invite one person into it. Name one thing you can share this week — a tool, a skill, a story.
