Emily, this is one of the most touchingly beautiful posts I have read, filled with empathy for those creatures we all either ignore or shy away from because... well because they are slimy and not beautiful to the classical or personal eye. But they are there and they have purpose, they have a reason to be and we so often forget this!

The wholesomeness of giving our time and our thoughts, our amazement to everything, small or large, is so present in each of your glorious words and the narration on audio a heavenly calming accompaniment... I absolutely adore your interview with a slug - especially, as a rule, one variety at least is not a creature I adore...

This is beautiful, in every sense, in every sentence. Bless your big wonderful heart 💛xx

PS I will try to be kinder to that variety that eat all my lettuces, peas and cabbage seedlings in future.

Your reflection is both deeply thoughtful and beautifully articulated. There’s something profoundly moving about the way you weave together biology, language, and perception, revealing how much wisdom exists.. in the little, overlooked corners of the world… noticing the sacredness in the “mundane”…Thank you for sharing this 🙏❤️
