I love trees, I love this. I also just started getting into climate journalism (intersecting with lifestyle) and this. This is certainly one way to go about it. Thank you!
Such timing! I finished What My Bones Know two days ago. It was such an incredible book-- so gorgeously written; so inspiring; such a very important read. And I loved so much the setting of this talk. Trees and forests were so instrumental in my own healing, in no small way because of what Stephanie mentioned above about both their slowness and the way that we, as nature-beings ourselves, are intimately connected to them. Truly truly a beautiful conversation-- thank you again and again for letting us all tag along.
Today's Walk It Off has covered the nooks and crannies of a lot of territory! Thanks for introducing us to NYC's Forest Park and to Stephanie Foo, a well-matched couple: a forest and caregiver.
Saeed Jones' Kudzu was an excellent prologue to your guided interaction—reminding us that the kudzu is simply doing what it does best. And the nettles, and ivy, and mushrooms, and all the other treasures hidden under foot and above the canopy.
I've ordered Foo's What My Bones Know: A Memoir of Healing from Complex Trauma. Becoming well again from the core, from the bones on out, is often the best way to learn the lessons of trauma, and I look forward to reading her thoughts on her experiences. With little information available to those suffering from variations of traumatic pain, sharing our experiences, our failures and successes, can't help but benefit others who are facing the same.
Forgive me for getting touchy-feely. These are subjects dear to my heart, and nature is a potent salve for recovery.
I love this so much! I live near Forest Park and am also a California transplant, and I’m so inspired now to spend more time there. And as so often happens with your work, Isaac, this came into my life right as I have a close friend who I think will really benefit from Stephanie’s memoir - I just sent her a copy and got one for myself too. ♥️
That was wonderful, thank you (and thank you to Stephanie Foo).
My public library has What My Bones Know, so I'm going to check that out soon.
And if anyone reading this isn't in a position to buy the book or can't find in a local library, see if your local library offers Interlibrary Loan.
If they do, you can request the book and get it for free!
Thanks again for that wonderful post.

I really enjoyed this, thank you. Such an inspiring attitude for our place in nature
