I'm starting a new chapter and working up the thoughts that will carry the story through. At least, that is what i'm telling myself and now, you as well. the book i'm writing and hope to share within a reasonable amount of time, is about our connection to the land and water. And the air too. If you know my writing, you know it takes the winding path. I hope that you will check out my books. Here's the link to my last one, riding the waves: a tale about being home in the world. All my writing is about the environment but you might have to move away the leaves to see that. There's probably many of us out in the world that would love to be called a nature writer. But our imaginations and creativity, and our passions, bring in other elements that aren't necessarily what everyone expects of a nature book. That's because nature includes everything, even shadows and imaginary beings. Or at least beings we can't all see yet. The environment is a word i struggle with because I don't think it brings to mind what I want it to. Nature might be closer to what I need. All my writing is about nature. Okay. That's better for me. It better expresses my desires about stewarding the planet and taking good care of the wildlife. Yes, the people too. Many people aren't familiar with ecosystems. But that's a word that is closer to what I care about. I'm still learning. Eco comes from the meaning of extended family. My book riding is about that. It's about finding wholeness through and past grief by connecting with and knowing that you are a part of nature. That I am a part of nature and that all I love and lost from this world are a part of the world I love. Yop, that's me.
I just tweeted this as a for instance of what you can gather is ecos -
