So thankful for your encouragement to just put the stories out there and not worry about the rest. I have loved connecting with kindred souls here on Substack. So glad you have joined me here! I hope to return to our in person writing group when our travel schedule slows down.
Yes, yes, yes, Wendy. I so understand the call to "product" and "efficiency" that our dominant worldview keeps inviting. I've made those mistakes too - perhaps too many to even recall. Trees are individuals AND forest, and we witness time and again how they choose community. Thank you for this compelling reminder.
It’s such a struggle to not fall into to old narrative. Having others to journey with helps us claim a new narrative. I look forward to our in person opportunity to journey together tomorrow!
"Like human communities, there is something genuine that is continually seeking to emerge. Every ecosystem, just like every tree, seems to have its own “original instructions”—what Robin Wall Kimmerer describes as the unique gifts and responsibilities each being carries within the greater whole." So beautiful. I'm saving this piece to finish a little later. Thank you.
I love how you capture the essence of a piece of writing or an experience. I am going to borrow (r)evolution. That is a powerful way of weaving the concepts together. It does feel so revolutionary to embrace organic evolution. Thanks for restacking this post and for your insightful comment.
One-all! That is the theme of next week’s post…the thread that has emerged to weave the two stories together. So thankful to have you along on this journey.
I feel as if I have visited your treehouse and walked the woods. Thank you for sharing your learning experience and wisdom!
Thank you for visiting the treehouse!
Not many people can interpret the voices of the forest as well as you do.
Thats the nicest comment yet. Thank you!
Beautiful and so informative. Thank you. I learned so much.
