Incredible guide for thinking about your way of being in the world. Modelling oneself after the mutability and non-binary nature of fungi, "living the question," acknowledging the work that's done underground to prepare for the moment of visible change... I really dug all the stuff around timelines and transformation. This understanding of place as relationship and the concept of biocultural diversity (especially the way land lives in the body, that description of the body movements of fishing a particular river). Some of the blanket statements villainizing western medicine were not as much my cup of tea (e.g., antidepressants).
