Your writing has always really opened my mind up to new ways of thinking, and I appreciate you sharing it very much!! This article is such a warm and loving reminder to connect with the non-human world around us, something that's become really relevant to myself and my family lately. I don't think it's a coincidence that we as humans are all gathering together and realizing these things now, in this time.

Choosing to live an enchanted life through building relationships with my ancestors, plant & tree spirits, and the Earth is the best thing I’ve ever done for my wellbeing. 🩷
