This is so beautiful, Kim. I’ve been thinking similarly lately, about the soul-crushing and brainless drive to be productive, useful and quantifiable. I love your meditation, the image of a life as a landscape. Thanks for writing these essays and for sharing them - they always chime with me. xx

Awww Kate, thank you so much for your words. Funny thing is I was thinking about you yesterday as I read this piece https://dark.properties/growing-beyond-the-computer/

So many of us are on the same page - just need to keep lighting smoke signals for each other. Sending much love and hoping you're well. xx

I find the substack app a bit clunky sometimes, timelines are weird and I don’t know where messages are notified 🐝

Thanks for the link! 🩵
