Reemergence of Animate World Experiences
"To shift my own awareness toward a more-than-human perspective, I sometimes
take a wooden flute outside and begin to play, offering simple music to pine and
stone, offering gratitude to billions of ancestors from elements born in
supernovas, to bacteria and trees, insects and trilobytes, to lineages of human
ancestors both known and unknown. Offering wild prayers for all the beings who
come after us, as well as gratitude to all of the teachers, both human and
wilder Ones, is a practice to help destabilize my everyday mind and perceptions.
Sometimes it is as if I hear the world breathing in response to the
melodies."
