Thanks, Alex. I'm glad it resonated. I keep thinking about how naming could be our oldest technology, maybe even older than fire. I'm curious, what a name (animal, place, or even tool) that's stayed with you over time?
This is heartwarming - names are a mantra of the soul & carry such life. Thanks for nailing it in the name of Jane Goodall, such a unique pioneer and thinker.
Thank you, Sheila. I love how you phrased "names are a mantra of the soul." That feels true about species and systems alike. I wonder what the world might sound like if we treated naming as a daily practice of reverence.
That was beautiful. Naming as a mythic tool and technology is quite a thought. And what a wonderful way to honor Jane Goodall.
