Abstract
After working on the frontlines of the COVID pandemic, the author reflects on finding the principles of partnerism, hope, and community in nature through the healing art of poetry, photography, and story sharing. The partnership paradigm empowers the qualities of respect, justice, balance, and innovation. Partnership practices catalyzed by the natural elements of life and the land are foundational to community and cultural transformation, raising the nature of our planetary system to be the most transformative model of partnerism in action.
