I remember this essay well. And my comment is unchanged from the one I made back then. You are one of the finest lyrical writers on Substack. You were then and you remain so. This essay is proof of that.
Good people. We all can make a difference if we make an effort. Wondering what you think of the recent decision by the official Geological Academic overlords deciding not to label this era as Anthropocene? With all the solid scientific evidence - seems very political as in serving some special interests $ behind the scenes. Regardless - many scientists and writers will continue to use the term and speak truth to power.
What a gem of a newsletter, thank you. "determined to let their noticing upend their lives. That’s the radical step not enough of us take, crossing the line from empathy to ethics, and never retreating." Phew that is a call to self reflection and action. I can't wait to be able to watch the full documentary, thank you for bringing it to my attention. xo
Thank you for introducing me to All That Breathes. I watched the trailer. Now I will search for a way to watch in its entirety. I know the words thank you do not even touch on the impact this documentary will have on me. Grateful.

If you haven’t watched
Winged Migration (2001), I highly recommend it.
