“when you cut yourself literally — you know murmuration of starlings & flocking…some of your immune cells flock & they come to the site of the cut like a flock of birds. & they get on either side of the cut & they pull the skin together…as the fibroids are being formed.”
One more outing to close out the school year: four days in the rainforest guiding a May Term group along the Hoh River Trail.
This past week, three days guiding a group along the Ozette Triangle. Sunsets, tide pools, and a bear: an altogether lovely way to close out the year at CWA.
“‘So that’s the question, I guess, for you and for me and for all of us trying to do this sacred task of telling stories for the young: How do we tell the truth and make that truth bearable?’” @KateDiCamillo in a letter to @mattdelapena, read on @onbeing onbeing.org/programs/kate-di…

May Term at CWA. Mount Rainier to the Pacific Bonsai Museum, Seattle Waterfront, Lake Union, & Bloedel, and 4 days up the Hoh River. How do we shape public space & share it with one another, and how might it shape us, as well?
“As well as encouraging repetition and remembrance, these rituals are a way of forging a relationship with longer-term time, marking beginnings and endings, as well as a connection with ancestors.” / @rifish with @longnow: longnow.org/ideas/the-fire-t…
