Beautiful thoughts. I’m with you all the way. Especially on the ways our storytelling is changing. I recently published a short story narrated by a maple tree under threat by a methane pipeline. Thanks for the reference to Sophie Strand. I haven’t run across her yet.

Hi Julie, I'd love to read your short story, if you could send over a link :) it's such a fascinating topic to think about the evolution of storytelling...

"The more conversations we have, and the more we make space for relating from different lived experiences" I wish more people would think like you, I'm afraid most of the people think that their meaningful conversations are happening on their phones but that's just so far from the real world. Loved your writing:)

What an absolute gift to have these deep moments with your mum. I hope that I can have these with my daughters as they get older and explore the world. 💕
