My favorite line from this interview, Dudley and Julie, is this one: "I hope to be a rock in the wall, a brick in an edifice of hope where compassion grows for the earth and her creatures, where the balance of life shifts toward sustainability." That so resonates with me, as does knowing that you also do ecological restoration. I write and "re-story" nature nearby as part of my practice of nurturing my terraphilia, humans' innate connection to and affiliation with the earth and the planet's web of lives. It's lovely to meet a kindred spirit through this interview. Thank you!
Thanks, Susan. It's great to meet you. I'm looking forward to learning about terraphilia via your Substack. It sounds like a perfect remedy for biophobia.
It's great to meet you too, Dudley, even if only virtually. I look forward to getting to know your pond and your place through your 'stack. Terraphilia is the practice we need in these times, I think, whether to remedy biophobia or simply to ground and sustain us. Blessings to you!
Thanks, Julie. The re-storying work is part of practicing my terraphilia. Sharing the practice of our cell-deep connection with the earth and nature is my mission in life. Tending our terraphilia is strength-training for the heart and spirit, something I believe we need now more than ever.
Dudley, you continue to inspire me, and this interview brings out your focus of working on a small space and making a difference. Your talents overlap in numerous artistry mediums and through your shares you are in fact, "a rock in the wall, a brick in an edifice."
Julie, as always, thank you for sharing these interviews.

Roots go deep, spread wide,
weave and braid with other roots,
link forces, find fuel.
