“When we are forced by illness to get close to our own decay, to our own impurities, we can begin to recontextualize mortality, impurity, and decomposition as things integral to the dynamic homeostasis of Earth’s complex bio-sphere. The chronically and incurably sick receive a terrifyingly intimate and accelerated version of this lesson in ecology: a lesson our capitalist throwaway culture has desperately tried to avoid. That lesson far exceeds our simplistic human dualisms of good and bad, safe and dangerous. But it does teach us.
It forces our bodies to acknowledge that we are never promised stability and wholeness. We are just a doorway through which matter is flowing on its way to becoming something else. A brief shape that atoms and electrons and recycled minerals take on their way to becoming hummingbirds and tomatoes and dragonflies and mountains.” Sophie Strand -The Body is a Doorway
We are entering the depths as we sink deeper into Fall & Winter. As you allow transformation, come receive support. 🍂☁️🍁
