Amen, Natalie! These are wise words. They are also dangerous words, because they challenge the narrative that is being pushed by so many in so many places. They are also because of that subversive words and thus healing words. When we engage the Wildworld and interact with our Wildkin we are making power statements to those who would chain our hearts and hobble our souls. I for one can say that being involved with The Wild Sketchbook and Hedgerow has broken the shackles for too long holding my creative heart and soul. It has done this by being part of a community that values creativity and my creative connection to the Wildworld and my Wildkin with whom I share it, who share it with me. Everything you say here is both true and needed. You invite us to walk the talk of connection - deep connection and wide wonder - not only with you but with others who share your vision and your hope. May blessings shower your work.
