"Radical hospitality," a great way to kick off my morning. Thanks, Sarah Rose. I think our "sense of urgency" is real; how could it not be. But, I think it is also a trap as you imply. Andreotti is encouraging patience as we witness the decline of modernity. In this place of patience hopefully we can begin to envision what "the regrowth of a living culture" really looks like. Possibilities will emerge during this transformative period. Societal structures will begin to materialize. As bad as the crises are that we have faced and as bad as the crises yet to come, they are also sarcophagi stones already in use as we build modernity's final resting place.
Greeting Sarah Rose, I'm in Black Mountain which is the town east of Swannanoa. In between working in the trenches, I've been hauling around What If We Get It Right by Ayana Elizabeth Johnson. She's also here on Substack. If you haven't read her, I think you would appreciate her 20 interviews with epic climate/environmental people. in kinship, Katharine
Hello Katherine, It's lovely to meet you and I hope you're keeping well in Black Mountain (a town I love). Thank you for the recommendation -- I have a few friends, including Justin Cook whose photo is included in this post -- that have been reading and loving Johnson's book. It's on my list!
Oh how i miss you and dearly missed you here in Cinci last month while I was not. Your writing and your deep work. Hugs to your family and loved ones, and those of the splintered swooshed and lost lands of WNC and everywhere else. 'The Planet does not compartmentalize' and 'Storm Warning' - brilliant beautiful difficult. Love from the middle... not untouched. Xo

Well said, Steve.

I miss you too Kim! It always makes me happy to see you pop here and know that we're still connected over time and space.
