No one said we couldn’t or shouldn’t go outside during Covid, but many of us forget we are free to roam in nature. Instead, we hole up with technology. What is forgetting about “outside” all about, anyway?
When watching the Green Renaissance video this week I was surprised to actually feel my feet when he mentioned being barefoot outside. It was so strange to be sitting inside and feel the bottoms of my barefeet outside. But it was also really strange to SMELL dirt!
The following is one in a series of shared stories Believer Magazine recently ran about “newfound attachments” since Covid. They are charming and to the bone. Yes, my grandmother saved the dough, and, yes, we saved tin foil until it cracked and no longer held together.
If enough people read this Starbucks could, literally, lose business. Why? Alicia Dantico is right!
I am including the link, here, if you want to read a few more of the stories. The one about the Christmas tree is charming.
Writer James Baldwin on hate as a defense mechanism:
All throughout these months
as the shadows have lengthened,
this blessing has been
gathering itself,
making ready,
preparing for
this night.
It has practiced
walking in the dark,
traveling with
its eyes closed,
feeling its way
by memory
by touch
by the pull of the moon
even as it wanes.
