I love the idea of nature as coauthor - such a beautiful way to view that relationship. I find time in nature very grounding, it definitely helps with regulation and I often find it helps something loosen inside me, whether it be a block on a writing project or some other tension or challenge in life. Thank you for this piece.

Thanks, Jen. Nature as healer and provider of the feeling of being held. ❤️

I think, with poetry, I almost always write this way. At the moment I go out to listen and to notice small things happening. My theme is "listening to what the world is saying". By world I mostly mean the other-than-human world. Essay writing is as much about research and about the above.

Yes. Experiential research especially. Love your theme, Mary
