Ever since I watched Naima Penniman (from the duet Climbing Poetree) recount her poem in this <a href="https://www.ted.com/talks/naima_penniman_being_human?language=en" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">bewitching video</a>, I’ve returned time and time again to these words, to the simplicity, playfulness, and sheer beauty of her message. For me this poem is medicine. It reminds me of all the silly and wondrous things we human get caught inside of, and then we can wonder, how do other beings on Earth live their experiences of doubt, fear, joys, sorrows… What can we learn from them? Does it really have to be all so complicated after all?

Poem | Being Human

Lifeworlds is an intimate dialogue with our planet’s ecologies and with those who are translators and bridges between the human and beyond-human. Our guests are farmers, lawyers, scientists, investors, indigenous scholars, artists, and many more — with them, we explore the mindsets, skills and actions required to forge deep connections with nature and to enter into close relationship with the lifeworlds of other beings. We begin to change the world when we change our ways of seeing and being. Lifeworlds points us towards a deeper reformulation of core human identities, asking who it is we share the Earth with and what our human role may be at this pivotal moment in time. It is through the doorway of inhabiting and understanding multiple perspectives that we can begin to heal a culture and psyche that is steeped in duality. We have lost our place as humans amongst all life. This is our call for healing, engagement and wonder.<a href="https://www.lifeworld.earth/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">www.lifeworld.earth</a><hr> Hosted on Acast.
