Thank you Imelda for sharing the lessons of the forest.

The questions give me something to think about. Your essays always do that. 🙏

Everything you write resonates deeply for me and comes pretty close to my own personal practices and attempts to be a beacon of light and harmony and inner wild wisdom, both for myself and for the wider web of beings and beloveds. Thank you for this shared mycelium space, I treasure this connection. ✨

I love the image of "a beacon of inner wild wisdom" especially!

I treasure our connection too.

This is much needed. Thank you for sharing. Thank you for reminding us about singing over the bones. Thank you for reminding us that we are all part of that unseen but powerful mycelial connection.

And thank you for taking the time to leave this encouraging comment! I sometimes feel like a lone wolf howling to a far off pack (and I live in a place where I hear real wolves howl sometimes).

Your post makes wonderful sense! I planted zinnias in a large pot on our small urban patio. I sit with them or stand with them quietly from time to time. They speak with me in a conversation of inner renewal. My heartfelt thanks to them.

Good timing; sharing with a friend who’s near three fires in Colorado right now (with a caution to engage with the material only if he feels up for it—but he’s of the mindset that I think might find it helpful). Thank you.

Thank you, this is exactly what I have been feeling need for right now. The world "feral" has been resonating through even before reading this. Uruz?! And Ancestor xx

Ur/Uruz can be dramatic (completely back to the drawing board, total chaos). I might start with Algiz! And I will be writing some rune essays in the run-up to the publication of my book. I might put your comment in my Draft Folder as a starting point. X : )

This is very timely! How could it be otherwise? After a long period of creative dearth, something in me has cracked open recently. This post is very encouraging, thank you!
