"Like winds and sunsets, wild things were taken for granted until progress began to do away with them. Now we face the question whether a still higher 'standard of living' is worth its cost in things natural, wild, and free. For us of the minority, the opportunity to see geese is more important than television, and the chance to find a pasque-flower is a right as inalienable as free speech." (Aldo Leopold)
This space supplements my autoethnographic work (e.g., here, here and here) by making all my data public and transparent. This work explicates my journey of trying to be in the world differently, i.e., more harmoniously with nature, the self and others (humans and non-humans).
For a while, I was tempted to refer to my attempts of experimenting with a degrowth/post-growth compatible living as "degrowth living", but over time it began to feel like "degrowth living" concealed too much. After all, this mode of being is about growth, though not material.
