Hi Deb, I enjoy your newsletter so much! I too am startled by the blaring, unnecessary music noise added to the videos and short posts! Just awful! We are up at the mountain now and our sounds are birds singing, breeze rustling the leaves in the trees ....so relaxing to just "listen" to the quiet!!
Deb, I was very moved by your essay Mending Nets! And the synchronicity of the timing was for me very interesting! I have been spending a lot of time lately mapping the various threads that have gone into weaving the tapestry of my life. I've been at it for quite awhile, but just the other day I noticed how many of those strands involve the sea and sailing which for a girl from the midwestern heartland is a bit remarkable. Also, as you know, I am a spinner and I know that fishing nets were some of the first spinning (or twinning) are ancient ancestors did. I feel the water and the spinning - and the moon - are such a primordial part of all of us no matter where we were fortunate or not to grow up. Thanks for sharing memories of your amazing childhood!
Thank you Deb.. it was wonderfully quiet when I visited you. I too, crave the quiet spaces, so I can begin to really hear myself, the flowers and all the beings who have been making sound since before we evolved. Have you read David Haskell's book Sounds Wild & Broken?
Beautiful! Thank you for such wonderful insight 💕
