Hi Jasper, I really enjoyed reading this post. Discovered your writings through The Memoir Land Author Questionnaire. I am writing to you from India, where we grow up revering the earth, as a living metaphor of the Divine Feminine or Divine Mother. So, yes, I found your words deeply thought-provoking especially where you wrote, "This earth is not who she used to be. She’s actively changing, shifting, rebalancing and recalibrating against the destruction we, humans, have caused her. Yet I go to her wanting more. Craving, more." Thank you for writing this.
Svara, thank you so much for this thoughtful comment! I think for indigenous folks the earth is so, so important and we're all trying to lead the way on returning to her—so I'm so glad that we share that sentiment <3
