I love this story! Having lived and “ worked” with stones and minerals for years in healing and energy work, I so appreciate the living energetic presence and identity of each rock in my “ collection “. Thank you for this beautiful connective story Sophie!🙏❤️

This is so beautiful :) I have this same feeling sometimes, with stones, with crystals, with feathers even. About their need sometimes to move via a human interaction. I really love how you have written this

"How many of our actions are more than human?" This. For some many months, I have been on a psychic voyage with diasporic kin beyond the realm of reclaiming humanity which is the project of modernity and Black Excellence into much larger spaces where our boundaries become more porous and we can glimpse the multitudes that we are as universe continues to evolve Earth through us and with us.

As always entirely grateful to commune with you, friend. Never fails to open a portal.

I have a young son and I have been struggling to model better ways to relate to the world around us... I love whispering to and showing that rock around, sleeping with it under your pillow. These are of course things he would naturally be inclined to do. Between this and the species lunation practice I am already I already feel much better equipped, thank you! I also am intrigued by your ecology and disability book! I care for a severely disabled brother and think/write a lot about those topics, I'm excited for that!
