‘Emergence’ Magazine….

……..has looked back through the year and presented a selection of pieces, with this introduction…..

"The effort of the imagination is to turn the boundary into a horizon. The boundary says, ‘Here and no further.’ The horizon says, ‘Welcome.’”—Barry Lopez

Reflecting on all that is falling away and all that is yet to come, we curated a selection of stories from 2022 that speak to this year’s theme of living with the unknown. As we navigate the uncertain waters of our time, stories themselves can serve as anchors—inviting us to hold questions, revealing new paths to connection, and helping us sit in the company of mystery. The following podcasts, essays, film, compositions, and photo essays speak to forgotten histories and ancient soundscapes, ancestor trees and the wisdom of moss, haunting disappearances and joyful arrivals, love letters to Earth and the search for beauty. 

Wishing you a regenerative New Year, 

The
Emergence team

And I will present them to you one by one…..

Firstly……

Ten Love Letters to the Earth

by Thich Nhat Hanh

The Vietnamese Buddhist monk and Zen master Thich Nhat Hanh died nearly one year ago, on January 22, 2022. To honor his passing, we are re-sharing his “Ten Love Letters to the Earth,” a series of meditations that engage us in intimate conversation with our Earth. As we now approach the one-year anniversary of his death, we offer these recitations in remembrance.

Happy Hannukah…..better late than never!

Another festival of light…..…

Hannukah

Driving through the snow
no bells jingling
from my two-door
little hybrid

Rushing to get home
before the last candle is lit
spin the clay top
hoping for chocolate geld

But knowing we adult children
will share the holiday spirit
of latkes and family
and too many thank you notes

to be written
before the new year

Thank you Bartholomew…. https://bartbarkerpoet.com/
