A favorite compass of a quote from David Abram, shared full circle by fellow forest dreamer @penahay.bsky.social, beautifully in @forestofimaginatn.bsky.social 🌲🌱🎨🎼🎻🎭

‘The future will be sculpted … by the elemental friendships & alliances that we choose to sustain us, by our full-bodied capacity for earthly compassion & dark wonder, by our ability to listen, attentive & at ease, within the forest of our unknowing.’ David Abram. Thanks @bkuhnhaus.bsky.social 💚
