I, Amanda of Los Gatos, CA, declare that I live by mutual reciprocity — held up by people, land, and systems I did not build alone. I hold these ties plain: my family, my friends, my cats, my network, the monarch butterflies, the bike path I ride, the full moon as it rises, and Shrine Coffee in Santa Cruz. To each of them I commit time, care, and presence — to show up accountable to the web that keeps me alive.
