As I read that same essay—which amplified my deep connection to the natural world—I also grieved over our continued, rampant disregard for her.

I have been holding onto grief as well.

Oh beautiful.

"I think of eels moonlit & silver,

glass & dark elver, "

The silver/elver rhyme chimes delightfully.

I had no idea about the connection between eels and mussels. How delightful.
