So much in this post Jackie, thank you for both the beauty of your walk and the reflections along the way. Certainly can identify with the conflicting emotions of going into ‘wilderness’ which is traditionally owned land which too often the traditional owners have been exiled from. Sad reading of changes on Waiheke island beaches, it’s been a while since I have been there. A favourite place. Being older we carry so many layers of memories of our world changing. Love the way you recognising our living world in all of life

Gorgeous, as always, and I felt like I was walking with you in the tall gum trees! (I'm not sure I've ever even seen a gum tree, so that was extra special!) I so appreciate how you honor the complexity of our joy and grief, but infuse your readers with the reminder that we are the Earth and she is us. In all of our complexity. Love your blog, Jackie. I savor what you write and your images bring me such joy.❤ ❤ ❤
