It’s fascinating to read this Ling, and to see the way that your flowers have evolved. I always think that the ghost flowers are especially beautiful (but then I like white lights on trees).
I love your reference to how paper flowers have helped you "rewild your life". The way you describe what it means to you, the process rather than the outcome, is such a great example of what we can experience when we find it.
Thanks Andy. It's just so central to the whole thing. I've lived here longer than I've lived anywhere, over half my life, and for a long time I felt like I was a fish out of water, having previously been used to the moors and wide open spaces. I'm sure there are a lot of people who have that sense of dislocation and disconnection, and especially now, when it can seem so difficult to go through our days making the right choices, it's overwhelmingly important that we understand how a connection to nature comes from somewhere deeper, somewhere inside us, and not being able to access the wild or "be in nature" is not a barrier...
