"The work is relational and generational. How we carry ourselves it in is what matters most. To repair is often the best thing humans do. This is healing work that we cannot do separately. But if we are brave and careful enough, land can also be a place of repair. It’s futile to try to protect nature without beginning with the task of healing ourselves. This is the power of relationships, the evidence that we never exist alone, and that our relationships form our potential. Our collective thriving is contingent upon making this repair." - Peter Forbes, Letters to a Young Spoon Carver

Letters in return

"I read - or rather savored - your "Letters to a Young Spoon Carver" over the days and weeks that followed our October gathering and I want to tell you how magnificent I find/felt the books, really on every page. Illuminating, inspiring, troubling - it holds my interest in so many ways. Probably needless to say: I find most arresting the epistemological unseating you accomplish in your own life and offer to us. I've felt for years that the older I get the less I believe what I think but have only rarely felt so pummeled by evidence and story of how so thoroughly socialized and colonized I am, especially my ways of understanding. Thanks so much for offering this to me and to the collective us." - Jon
