This was a very moving article and I could really see myself in many of the thoughts that Anne expressed. If I would have one comment is that while very pretty, the constantly looping graphic animation was very distracting when trying to read the text. I found myself having to scroll past it to be able to focus on the text. Maybe have it animation more slowly and just once would alleviate those feelings. You get the beautiful animation without distracting from the text. (I'm a graphic designer so I just think about these things a lot. Keep up the amazing newsletter!)
Relate HARD to the judging the neighbors while you grind at being a responsible, thoughtful environmentalist AND the simultaneous jealousy of their lightness of being. I've been to so many birthdays, showers, gatherings where I'm sweating over the plastic cutlery and plates, piles of meat, etc. while others are just enjoying themselves and I think *sigh* I can't even rememeber what that feels like. Thank you for this beautiful piece. I'm a beginner gardener and already feeling the amazing benefits. It's something so instinctual and earthy.
What an uplifting well written article by Anne Fletcher. She is the type of thoughtful person we need more of these days. I admire her strength and tenacity and look forward to her continuing her quest for the betterment of us all.
Anne Fletcher: “The mechanism is mysterious… my mood just shifts…and that is very, very healing.”
Love this – Nature-healing Rocks! May we add (if it’s a community thing to suggest vocab discussion) ‘PHYTONCIDES’ to the beautiful Gen Dread Illustrated List? Or at least say it 3x fast? 😊
Would welcome comments from any chemists/soil scientists here:
Phytoncides = Nature’s proven, measurable, healing essential oils AND (potentially) climate temperature moderator IF we have enough forest in place as temps rise…
PS Super-cool pots Anne! Just ordered one. And bridging the ideological divide is so very Britt Wray!
