Cool! I’m hooked. Great writing. I kept thinking as I read, this house is a Bruce Springsteen song. You know the one. Yes to the end of human dominion or domination. Yes to imagining what comes next. I felt some resistance as I read - I mean, my Substack is called Building Hope after all. But I’m getting around to the point, which feels radical and vulnerable and that is to experience the world from a non human-centric perspective. So let’s see where all this leads! Bravo.
hey, thanks! for myself, i see this as kind of a civilizational Dark Night of the Soul: there's value in acknowledging how bad things can get so that we can evaluate what is really worth hoping for. i plan on exploring the more optimistic part in my next post :) and if you're interested in utopian thinking, you'll probably enjoy my upcoming cross-post series with Elle Griffin. look for that next week!
Nice essay! Since you brought up houses, I’m wondering if you’ve read Kingsolver’s Unsheltered. Seems to me she’s a writer who makes a space for the more than human world.

i haven't read it but i'll add it to my list... i've been delinquent in my fiction-reading lately, been reading too much weird nonfiction.
