Love this. I just got a puppy and it’s been like slamming on the brakes. He’s my new meditation teacher. Slowing me down. He’s obsessed with the small details. Each leaf, the moss on the rock, the smell under the bush, the rabbit poop. So much rabbit poop. Had been exhausting but also a much needed reframe. This is inspiring me to see what art I can create around moving slowly (and sometimes and for short bursts fast) with him.

That zine looks so so beautiful! Very inspiring! Also, “paying attention makes me feel alive.” YES!!!

More zines, more aliveness!

Have you read Raising Hare by Chloe Dalton? I feel my nervous system calm each time I pick it up and read her experience of paying close attention to one animal over time ❤️

No but it has been on my list for ages, so maybe it’s time to prioritize :)

It absolutely is. It's amazing. And for slowing down and paying attention, THE SOUND OF A WILD SNAIL EATING is gorgeous and profound.

I listened to it (she reads it) and her voice takes the calming to another level. Really wonderful.
