I, Mara of Terrace Way, Shandon, Columbia, Carolinas, Congaree, Broad and Saluda rivers, the South, declare that my wellbeing is bound to others. I hold this to be plain: my husband, my brother, our garden, the stray cats, our neighbors, our apprentices, the students, the Saluda river, the robins, cardinals and Carolina wrens, the Five Points shopkeepers, and the Elders who guide us. To them I commit to co-create — to build a government that catalyzes our shared force, as Mary Parker Follett showed us is possible.
