It isn’t just the gorgeous writing, it’s in the thought provoking questions, the gentle way you nudge your readers to think better—to BE better. You are a jewel.
gush. Thank you, Cindy. I think he actually meant in the way we both think about community and urgency and generational wisdom and responsibility and all the heirloom skills. And the beauty and resilience of nature. Her writing is so immediate and rich in detail and description. I am adding her to my list of aspire-to-write-like authors.
I’m reading Braiding Sweetgrass right now and am hooked! Sometimes I can’t put it down then other times I have to because I’m so overwhelmed by the ideas she’s sharing (in a good way!)
I love that you shared this quote from Maya Angelou, "Every storm runs out of rain". So simple and beautiful. So much wisdom there. It helps put in perspective the big challenges of our time, helping me remember to breathe and recognize the impermanence in the whole show.
Hurricane Helene too! The elevator reference in one of the paragraphs above was directly inspired by your tale of the Hotel Flamingo conversation with your audience member, Rick. We each lean on the other and together we move forward.
Can't word it better than Cindy. This is a lovely piece. It's given me many things to think about, along with a few more books to add to my reading list :)
