Newtown Creek (Mespaethes - Great Brook with Tide) is an Environmental Protection Agency Super Fund Site in recovery. The sign read, Caution Boaters! Avoid contact with water or sediment, Wash hands and clothing if contact with water or sediment occurs, but I touched it and the waters sang out. I once swam from the source of the Mississippi River (Misi - Ziibi) to the Gulf of Mexico as a performance and environmental statement. Sometimes, I bring Mississippi waters from the first day of that swim to mix with troubled waters from around the planet in cleansing ceremonies. While in New York City for the Peoples Climate March, I brought “Greetings from the Misi-Ziibi to Mespaethes” and recorded the ritual for you.
Cause all things connect to all things
Nothing stands by itself all alone
Our actions and reactions circulate in rings
With consequences often unknown*
