Being with trees and work-life entanglement
During one of my recent visits at a medical professional's office, I was asked about my work-life balance, how much I work, and things that I do after work. Academic work is creative, so 9-to-5 doesn't work for me. Moreover, because I research a more sustainable mode of dwelling on the planet and try to manifest it at the same time, there is no balance, but rather there is deep entanglement. There are colleagues I think together with. There are also non-humans, such as the trees in the picture above, who inspire me and in whose presence I contemplate things.
