Reflecting on the dozens of acts of kindness and tributes this past week, this seems fitting to reflect on today:

"Everything is held together with stories. That is all that is holding us together, stories and compassion." ~ Barry Lopez

May you have a lovely day, filled with small kindnesses. Let us tell each other good stories. 💛

Reading "Winter Count", a slim and borderline sublime collection of short stories by Barry Lopez. A note explains the title:

Interesting #review: A #Cultural #History of the #Soul: Europe and North America from 1870 to the Present, by Kocku von #Stuckrad:

"In the last two chapters, Stuckrad [returns] to North America, towards #naturewriting and #nature writers who would contribute significantly to inspiring the North American #environmental movement. His closing arguments explore the critical works of influential environmental authors like #RachelCarson and #BarryLopez."

Good mail day. Never before published long interview with Barry Lopez by Julia Martin (Trinity University Press).

“To be patient, to pay attention to the world that is not yourself, is the first step in the neophyte’s discovery of the larger world outside the self, the landscape in which wisdom itself abides. Other residents of the world… know more than we do about how to survive whatever is coming. Their investment is not in progress but in stability.”

— Barry Lopez, retelling a teaching of Koyukon elder Lavine Williams
