I just couldn't resist chiming in here to say that the book, "All We Can Save," is a real gem. It's packed full of powerful witness, heart-centered activism and fearless creativity. The perfect antidote to climate despair.

Great read! As someone who is finally making the pivot to nature/science writing (after decades as a healthcare writer), it's always good to read such encouraging wisdom.

I am very much enjoying these interviews - shared perspectives and new insight of how to impact others. The reminder that our writing as appreciators of nature can make a difference and Katharine's, "I love greens in all of her shades."

Great to get to know you better Katherine. I love your story about falling into the great spaciousness and timelessness of the living world. I agree All we Can Save is the best book to read on climate action, holding truth, care, passion and relatedness so beautifully

Thanks, Sally. I appreciate the way Wilkinson has made it so easy to duplicate the All We Can Save Circles.🌿

I so appreciate this interview. I have a copy of All We Can Save and have yet to open it. This is a good reminder to do so. And to keep sharing my nature-inspired poetry. Thank you, Julie and Katherine!

Annette, I will look for your work.

I have to return to All we Can Save a few times a year to remind myself of all the goodness, especially the way that Katharine and Ayana began the book.🌱

Thanks for participating, Katharine! And for asking me to answer them, too. A couple of them were harder than I expected. 😉

I got stuck on Katherine's painting of an eel and wondering what seeing it says about my psychological state. Where's Rorschach when I need him?

Beyond that, so much to read, so little time to do it. It's helpful to have these mini book reviews to help choose one. My reading these days is limited because of double vision - but that will hopefully soon be solved with new glasses. I don't know if any of these are audio books, but I don't much like them anyway.

Gosh, Phil, sorry about the eel. That was not my intention. But now that I look from your perspective, I see a being.

If I may...I feel that illustrating nature's colors is difficult, from a human perspective. (Birds can see deeper blues than we can.) This blue is one that I love and worked hard to express. The painting is intended to be an exhale, and representative of kinship with the animated world.

I do believe that most everything is available on audio.

Maybe your new glasses will gift you with reading again. If so, All We Can Save is a great way to return to reading because it's an anthology of about 40 essays.

Thank you for reading the interview.🌱

Ditto, Kate. Love your work🌱

I think the way I found it is through Julie's great idea of the Reciprocity interviews.

I feel so inspired reading this interview and just went down several rabbit holes following the references. It gives me such an uplift to read the powerful agency coming through this story and introduction to Katharine Becket Winship - thank you.
