I am a witch. I'll never apologise for my slow navigations across the land. For each hedge offers wonders. Each path has it spirits, its talkative trees. I shall get to where I need to be at the pace of my curiosity and the nature's desire to hold me in its splendour. – #EmilyCanting #WitchSky

One of my many complaints about AI is that when I write my books I am *thinking*. It's how I process my ideas. To hand that over would be to hand over my thinking. Another example of this is lesson planning - it encourages us to *think through* a classroom situation ahead of time. #EduSky

We can't have an understanding of the collective until we have healed (or heal along with) our separation from the rest of the living world, from which our collectivity emerges and on on which our collective health and life depends.

I’ve been up to Hambridge Primary in Somerset today to help the Yr 4/5/6 children create a welcome sign. We’ve used local landmark ‘Burrow Hill’ as the inspiration. 😁 👍

Playing in mud can be a beneficial activity for children.
Brain development: The sensory stimulation and increased input from mud play helps form pathways in the brain.
Motor skills: Children use their smaller muscles by squishing, squeezing, scooping, mixing, and pouring mud. #EarlyYearsSky

The late composer Ryuichi Sakamoto once said "The world is filled with profound beauty and tragedy, and it is through art that we can reconcile these contradictions." I think about that a lot these days.
