So well written and thoughtful. I’ve read it twice and shared it with several friends. I’m going to put more thought into some of the action items at the end of your post. I’ll let you know what I come up with.

Reading “A Psalm for the Wild-Built” ( thank you Ash) and weaving that into the reflection. The sentence, “ Fear is miserable, as is pain. As is hunger. Every animal is hardwired to stop those feelings as soon as possible.” is haunting.

I made a list of seasonal foods in Virginia that I like and some I’d like to try- like a fennel based salad. I’m going to ask for help from a friend with a particular task that is coming up in a week or so that I don’t feel comfortable with but I know is their forte. I realize I spend too much time scrolling on my phone and that time would be better used journaling, writing or just going for a walk. Those are my action items taken from your post. You struck a chord on several levels for me so thank you.
