Do you also have the idea that your writing is on the right track when you see the abstracter/deeper patterns/dynamics within are returning? Or to say differently, that the articles from one's hand could easily reference one another. As they where from the same family so to speak. As they create an entangled web of insights. And that it is this whole that wants to be communicated. As walking streets through an unknown city to get to know the city.
Good luck with the "rebrand", curious how it will direct/guide future writing.
Thank you for writing this, I love what you're weaving.
There are two people whose works came strongly to mind while reading this, and I'm curious whether or not they've been present in your journey so far. First is Joanna Macy, specifically her dissertation Mutual Causality in Buddhism and General Systems Theory, and the other is Stephen Harrod Buhner, specifically thinking about some ideas he shared in this For the Wild interview nearly a decade ago which really shaped my relationship with the microbiota of this planet. Here's part two which I recall is where he really gets into it–
Again, I so deeply love and appreciate what you're weaving together here, and I look forward to reading and hearing more! And if you're able to join me next week in the Living World Salon, it would be beautiful to weave together some of these ideas in realtime!

Yes, I do. Thanks for that - I love how you put that into words. It wouldn't have been apparent to me in that sense, but I very much relate to that.
