@Bri Chapman and @Stephanie C. Bell

Bri - I love your writing here.

Like Stephanie I settled on those last 6 lines and could have easily neglected the call to be a pollinator having become fixated by them.

I realise that like you described, I wondered if I could swap privilege for something else “talent”, “strengths”, and so on. You are right though, I am privileged and could do with acknowledging that.

It’s also a privilege to read your work as you go about your own pollinating. Thank you tending to us.

Per your usual, a very important conversation to be having in these tumultuous times. This really spoke to me, Bri:

"Be available to your own gifts. To the moment. To each other.

Be the pollinator.

Move between the blossoms.

Carry what you can.

Nourish what you touch.

Tend the garden."
