Not sure yet...curious about fungi and thinking like a forest
When does a stick that is being fed to a fire stop being a stick? Identity is a hard place to capture these alchemical processes of transformation that all living beings are in constant relationship with, we are ever dissolving, ever absorbing beings, doings, learnings.
“The essence of transformation is neither the caterpillar nor the butterfly, but rather what happens in between. And when we look "in between" we see precisely — nothing, for the form has been dissolved on the one side, and hasn't happened yet on the other”

Yes to this @norabateson.bsky.social my genes are only now appreciating and waking up to what was held in my grandmothers gestures. Her rage is a living story and "knowledge" as a container can't fully bag her contexts, not then, not now, even with hindsight and second takes, I am reducing her.
There are many ways communication moves beyond direct transmission. Most older cultures learned long ago direct transmission is inadequate, dangerous & reductive. To have been brought up in an era of assumption of what you say is what you mean has postponed skills of indirect in depth communication.

A culture living well works together to end extreme "wealth" a nearly incurable side effect of modern logic and sanity. We shouldn't just think of eating the rich, but digesting them, like earth worms, divesting resources to find equilibrium.
Some intelligences that are frugal with energy, water & materials:
A monarch migrating
A bird nest building
A vine reaching for light
A toddler making up a song
A culture living within the limits of its place for centuries
Voices harmonizing
A storyteller, telling

This is worth supporting.
$4875 left! Thank you so much!
Bluesky, I'm going to try to not do this often but the Build Soil nonprofit project needs help.
To make the leap I'm trying to make, I need to raise $5000 at minimum in the next few days.
buildsoil.net/ has ways to donate

Fabulous! Forest floors teach how loosening identity works where collapse processes are rich and abundamt.
Is is still a baseball? What nourishes and uses it now in its new ecology? In fact is it even seperate or just carrying an old idea?

I occasionally find old baseball cores out in the middle of nowhere, sitting forgotten for who knows when. This one is now home to a colony of moss.

my first cortinarius violaceus, or purple cortinarius, spotting on a hike.
A deep purple mushroom common in old growth forests like olympic national park.
