"rerouting and deepening one's attention to place"
This theme of place keeps appearing
with threads from many different tributaries,
merging together into a flowing river;
however,
"will likely lead to an awareness of one's participation in history..."
I hadn't given much thought to this aspect until now.
Now I'm thinking of the late Barbara McRae
and how her attention to place
continues to contribute to this locale,
as I witness the construction of a viewing platform
for bird watchers and nature lovers
on our local greenway.
Barbara's attention to place has inspired
groups of individuals working together
to bring her visions into being.
are two of many, including the Greenway itself.
She was and continues to be an example and an inspiration
of what it means to be rooted to the land,
to the humans and the more-than-humans
living in a place on this earth.
