Thank you so much for reading my coyote story Mary! Barbara's book is the only one I know of that touches on some of the same issues that "my" coyote faces. Unfortunately, so many more four-legged, winged, swimming, and crawling people are also in peril, as are the land and sea as well.
I love trees! You can save the trees and I’ll take care of the cats. I can’t fathom why people adopt, then abandon their kittens and cats. Or won’t take them to be neutered/sprayed at a free clinic. I use the money to stop the feral population. Then I establish a home and land solely for cats, where I ensure they have food, receive medical attention, and receive love. Of course, educating people would be part of the program.
OMG, I love this vision so much. Just save every piece of forested land left on the planet. I've been deeply grieving a single tree this week. I hate how deeply I grieve. I lost an entire night's sleep over it & then didn't sleep well the second night. I am SO DONE with environmental violence.
I'm just seeing this. I grieve with you, and I know how much I grieve for every single one of the old live oaks less than half-mile from me, destroyed maritime forest to make way for an "exclusive resort community." Gag. All I can do at the moment is cuss. There are days I feel so helpless.
Janisse, I keep hoping that if we work together, write the right words, vote the right way, we can save the planet. Like you say, the grief is overwhelming some days. I'm hoping for clarity this week while at Weymouth, and I'm so excited to see the oldest longleaf pine tree - 470 years old and protected! I'm not sure, but I think Weymouth is only available to NC writers. I'll ask while I'm there this week. I hope it would be open to you, and I'll let you know more.
I just finished Barbara Kingsolver’s book Prodigal Summer recently and your piece on coyotes carries the same passion she has for them. Thank you!

Have you seen the children’s book she just wrote with her daughter? Called Coyotes wild home. ❤️
I have and darn it, I keep forgetting to buy it! Thank for the reminder!

One more thing. I've GOT to find out more about the residency at Weymouth Woods. I want to follow your footsteps there.
