“Coexistence gives our own existence greater poignancy,” Chloe Dalton, Author of Raising Hare & former political advisor. Our purpose is to coexist with millions of others 👥🌿🐘 🐇Not just fellow humans or pets - but a whole cast of Earth co-habitants — Badgers, Foxes, Jaguars, Wolves and Hares. Damselfish, King Crabs, Blue Whales.. Much of modernity has taught us to see the web of life as pyramid-shaped, with a strict hierarchy of animals, and humans at the pinnacle. We are now journeying together away from ego-centric to eco-centric. Remembering our place in an interdependent whole. 🕸️Life is a web. Interconnected. Interdependent. Flourishing mutually. Each glittering strand of the web sustains another strand. Each section relies on its neighbour to thrive. Understanding of our role in Nature, the role of caretakers, of protectors, and observers, is to live a more poignant, emotionally deep and sharp existence. 🐇👥Raising Hare, written by Chloe Dalton is a gentle, poetic, and thought-nurturing account of how one thread of the web, a Hare, deeply touches another thread, a Human. In it, the ethics of coexistence find the most graceful embodiment in a long-eared creature living at the edge between a human’s inner world and the fragile wildness beyond the garden’s gate. Through the soft and respectful relationship between a woman and a Hare, the distance between us and the beings we share Earth with, momentarily shortens, as our reverence enduringly deepens. #RewildYourSpirit #ChooseOurFuture #RewildingTogether
