What daily practice do you currently find most nourishing?
Every morning I call on every being - ancestor, plant, mushroom, type of stone, animal, geological formation, river, bird, invasive species, weather system - in a twenty mile radius of my home. I gather around me the beings that "constitute" me so that when I make decisions throughout my day I know my choices include more than just the "fiction" of an individual me.
What are you reading? As much or as little as you would like to share.
The list is insane. But currently I am enjoying a return to Alfred North Whitehead's Process and Reality paired with Bayo Akomolafe's These Wilds Beyond Our Fences.
Big thanks to our sponsor The Apricot Grove!
Eternal gratitude to Bart Matthews for our amazing intro music!
