What a marvelous tale uniting your Kuwaiti cat, illness, Burning Man angels and art, the upper Missouri River, and possible meanings of "earthing." Thanks!
Hannah, your courage, optimism and determination in dealing with Lupus is an inspiration to me, who has no debilitating disease. I just deal with an aging body and mind. Thank you!
(PS I have bought killed books....gnawed on by dogs...or God knows what, illustrated by some creative child or grandchild...or great grandchild and baptized in rain or river. Loved or not, the price is right.
Oh I love those books with the records on them of everything they’ve been through, all the companions they’ve had -- not so different from us I guess. It feels good to take them in & value them & their experiences & what they have to say (and even the fact that most people overlook them!). I hope you’re also feeling valued, I know it’s not always easy.
I can affirm that walking barefoot or earthing is a great way to reconnect with both the beauty and grossness that is a part of human existence. I suggest walking on relatively clean grass patches for best results 💜🌼
I don't like walking barefoot, but I destroyed my copy of Braiding Sweetgrass by getting it wet. I dried it and finished reading that copy, because Robin Wall Kimmerer went through the trouble of getting it printed on acid free paper and whatnot so that's my copy. I don't get another one.
That Gutenberg guy was really on to something, wasn’t he? Really kind of a minor miracle how indestructible books are (with acid free paper) if you start thinking about it. And there’s something about Braiding Sweetgrass that makes me think it likes getting out & about & getting wet & really being used & read. I think Kimmerer would like it.

Thanks so much, Mom. 💗
You are magnificent, Hannah.
Thank you so much, Chris, that means a lot.

I’m going to have to give it more of a go in perhaps slightly more pristine environments than my back alley. 😂 Thanks for reading & commenting.

I love the dust angel!!! Being present and feeling the beauty of the natural environment is special. It doesn’t happen e’day.
