Move over Iron Man, we need a new kind of hero! When superhero tropes reduce nature to a mere backdrop for accidents and wars, our ecological imagination shrinks. We don't need another billionaire in armor—we need narratives that restore our place within the web of life. medium.com/@Wordsinthew...

My next newsletter "On Birds, Spiders, Gods and Others" is coming today. It is a bird's flight between films and myths and other lores of living. Personally, I guess this is what Didion meant when she said "I write to find out what I'm thinking." the-long-view-letters.kit.com 🦜

So cool. I admire the ability to measure things precisely because for me gluing paper flat is a skill!

Every now and again, we "unlock the vault" to dig into our archive for something that resonates—and there's always something. We think these are times for poetry. Here's a piece from Jane Hirshfield, along with five more at the link. orionmagazine.org/article/from...

Living alongside us as they were meant to. Modern political & legal discourse is reframing India's dogs as monsters instead of mythic companions. What a turbid time. #dogsofbsky

Completed The Travelling Cat Chronicles - one of three novels I bought on my birthday this year. I'm reluctant to leave behind Satoru & Nana. That line, "Forever and ever I am your cat, Satoru" has got me the way "It is Clarissa, he said. For there she was." What a crescendo. #writingcommunity

Today, I find myself thinking about Pluto, now retrograde in Aquarius. Vedic astrology does not consider Pluto in its readings. And astronomers no longer consider it a planet. One body. Multiple gazes. If musings like these intrigue you, find more here: the-long-view-letters.kit.com

Invitation 1/16: The Precision of Looking🌳 Pick a tree you see often. Describe the color of its leaves in exact shades. You can't just say "green" or "rust"—you have to find detailed words :) Don't worry if they are made-up. For ex: 'Elphaba-Emerald.' Reply with yours. #SlowLiving
