#naturewriting — Public Fediverse posts

It’s been a long Indian summer
and the hips are rotting on the beach rose.

I can almost taste their sour skins –
red balls of seeds glistening…

It happened: After a long creative crisis, I blogged again:
https://steady.page/en/naturematchcuts/posts/a9343c7d-7f25-4fea-931d-2335413f25de

I’ve regained my passion for #writing human-made texts in a world of slop and scraping. And with #NatureMatchCuts I'll talk about more than nature topics. I'll talk about how we can find #hope and motivation to act in these weird times.

#BookReview - Gary Snyder’s 'The Practice of the Wild' offers nine thoughtful and beautifully crafted essays exploring our connection (and disconnection) to the wild, and why it matters.

Snyder, now 95, was a leading member of the Beat Generation of 1950s American authors. This collection is strongly informed by a nature-reverent stream of Zen #Buddhism, and has been highly influential in #DeepEcology movements world-wide.

Includes some very practical wisdom, and reads best in a mossy wood.
