I heard a story about ka jingkieng Jri & the story of mutualism
Of sturdy, of diversity, of path ahead
In a continuous improvement process
The resilience of ka Jingkiengjri is such that it can withstand adversity by its strong roots entwined together by people from one era to the next
It grows so strong year after year that it finally forms into a bridge.
A bridge in a world of walls
And it’s resilience increases year by year, gathering other worlds within it, as an ecosystem.

From small weak roots
Soon hand in hand they got so Strong, and are now able to withstand adverse life events of flood and landslide and whatever that comes their way
Their strength solidified & holds all beings, to house, to walk on it for generations
Like ka Dieng jri
Shoulder to shoulder we will stand together
Year after year we should grow stronger and sturdier
Some will die on our way
But some will grow stronger
Together it stands as an intersection of the plant, animal, microbes & the human world in solidarity
Of connections and interactions between them as a community
Of shouldering the weight of life together as one.
