Part 2 — Re-membering

Roots

There is a wild truth in your roots that connects you to all things human and beyond. Romance as ecology. Two minds nested in each other's field. Two threads of mycelium entwining, carrying songs of tree and soil and the stars from which our atoms were fashioned, sharing in the mystery, like the wolf roaming, birds following lines we cannot see. The woods, building from light. The why of the wind. The wonder of water, giving life.

Singing Key

LEFT RIGHT ALL

Life is moving me around in circles
And I'm trying to nest my mind in yours
Like the birds following light - Invisible lines - Pole to pole skies
Listening to life

I feel through the roots
To the beating of our hearts
I feel through the roots
To what we all are

Like the wolf roaming
Or the raven, older than the night
The why of the wind
The wonder of water - giving life

I feel through the roots
To the beating of our hearts
I feel through the roots
To what we are

Life is moving me around in circles
And I'm trying to nest my mind in yours
Like the woods building from light
Making their way slowly through life
Fashioning water into mind

I feel through the roots
To the life that's beating in our hearts
I feel through the roots
To what we all really are

Sit With This

What does love for another human actually feel like? Does it reach to something beyond the affection you share?
Does the world look or sound or feel different when your body is filling up with love?
Is it possible to feel these feelings without the attachment to another person?
If love is there inside you, can you feel it now?
What would it mean to organise society around care instead of extraction?

The Deeper Dive

In the flush of new love my partner and I bonded over our felt connection with the wilds within each other. We went for walks, slept on cliffs, sought out the highlands and the islands and a question emerged: what would a relationship look like if we thought of ourselves less like two people and more like mycelial upshoots from the humus.
