30 Days to Creativity

For the month of June, I’m crafting a new daily practice. My goal in bringing it here is to unify the activities that enrich my life, despite external and internal pressure to fragment and compartmentalize who we are.

Feeling

Hear what the material has to say to you. One must have a feeling for the organism.

Listening

Perhaps the greatest difficulty in listening to the prairie—or any part of nature—is that we must come in humility, even vulnerability.

Humility

“…even in the presence of the least petal and the slimmest grass blade, we are but humble guests of the grassland.”

Findings

“All of these findings are still new, but I’m in love with the idea that plants have a temperature, that they can run warm and cold when they need to, that they can send signals to species who will help them, not harm them.”
