excerpt: Nodes Day 2 (June 5)
Susan Sontag, Illness as a Metaphor wrote “Everyone who is born holds dual citizenship in the kingdom of the well and the kingdom of the sick. Although we all prefer to use only the good passport, sooner or later each of us is obliged, at least for a spell, to identify ourselves as citizens of that other place.”

The Honeycomb Project
At first glance, a honeycomb may seem like a simple geometric structure, but a closer look reveals its intricate design and precision. Composed of numerous hexagonal cells, each one works in harmony to create a cohesive whole, serving specific purposes—whether it’s storing honey, providing a home for the queen bee, or nurturing the brood. In a similar way, individuals within a community unite, each bringing unique talents, skills, and roles that contribute to the collective's well-being and growth. This metaphor emphasizes interconnectedness through relationships, shared experiences, and common goals, laying a strong foundation for collective resilience and development. The Honeycomb Project reflects our connections to one another through our environment and shared spaces.
