What do you FEEL about the climate crisis? It can be hard translating our feelings around this huge issue into words - feelings shift as we try to capture them. The words to describe what you’re feeling might not even exist.
What if you could experiment with sound & music as well as words ?

Six weeks ago, I picked up a year-old tawny owl with a broken leg off the main road near our home and dropped him off at our nearest vet.
After a few days, I received one of the most bizarre phone calls I’ve ever had, asking “So when are you coming to pick up your owl?” 🧵
