recovering deep history is recovering the history of desire for human community
from paleolithic history to the present, humans band together & develop social roles emerging to meet challenges in the struggle for survival
emerging social roles contribute to solving internal & external conflicts & lead to bonding relationships essential to survival
deep history meant sharing both miraculous survival and hovering threats to survival, both states of panic, anger and dispute and states of relief, nurturance & play
relating from distinct social functions extends to inter-relationships with other life forms, with animals, with rivers, with habitats, valleys, trees, stars
when in the present moment we know ourselves in evolving archetypal forms of relating, we are alive to one another & to all life
relating leads to knowing that the desire for diversity & communion is indispensable to life in community and to the earth as a work of art

each form generates shadowy aspects

Mother is hearth maker
Amazon is social energy
