I was hovering over the heart to like this post, as I wanted to communicate that it had touched me, but don't think the heart symbolises sufficiently the wide and deep range of thoughts and emotions and thoughts that after this, and all your posts, arise in me. Beautiful and poignant and hopeful. Thank you.
Now I am undone, dear Chloe. I came to respond to you, and then read this instead, and now I'm wrecked in the most beautiful way. I want to put your words right in the center part of my heart- to fold myself around them. I'm going to try, anyway.
So beautiful, my friend. You speak for so many of us here. As with Rebecca Solnit, you speak of our collective loss, yet always with an infusion of Hope so sorely needed. My gratitude knows no bounds!
I'm so deeply moved by your writing, Chloe. It opens a more generous place in my heart as I try on the way you see the world.
I especially loved the way you spoke about ecoside and our distorted lens, our sense or being orphans - it was totally fresh for me and deeply ressonant.
Thank you for your kind, vast and compassionate view, your birdseye view 🙏

You put such beautiful words to what I feel / think all the time. Thank you.

I can picture you laying in the grass in the graveyard. I’m so glad the older man came and sat a spell with you. Silent witnesses to unbearable pain.
Your niece is reason enough to not give up on our species.
Yes, yes and a thousand times yes! Thank you Chloe ❤️💔❤️
Once again you write my heart onto the page.
Beautifully read thankyou Chloe
And thankyou for not keeping your voice over behind a paywall x.
Your words always touch upon the exquisite essence -and agony- of life now. Thank you. 🙏🏽

“A thing of beauty is a joy for ever” - ‘who is that bird?’ - wonderful.
