From ‘Emergence’ Magazine….
“THERE ARE MANY languages of love we can speak to the Earth; many ways to be present with a place through the senses. This week, two stories from India bring us into the taste of milk from cows raised on scraps and street rubbish and the movement of pigeons on a city rooftop, beckoning us to recognize the fullness of life in often-overlooked spaces. We also offer two recent talks from Emergence executive editor Emmanuel Vaughan-Lee on becoming enraptured with the Earth and some of the more subtle inner ways the living world reveals our myriad connections.
Holy Terroir
Finding Taste in an Edge-Place
by Lily Kelting
“I want to talk about this milk, which is so local that it tastes of all that we leave behind.”
“How do we taste a landscape? Especially one beyond the periphery of what we consider ideal or desirable? Immersing us in the sounds of construction, the presence of buffalo, and the fragrance of marigold, smoke, and trash in Pune, India, writer Lily Kelting opens our senses to all that is held within the taste of her local milk. Contemplating this terroir—a union between cow, community, and land—she wonders how such a taste can help us understand the diverse and robust ecology of this edge-place.”

“Here, time moves slowly, longing has a home, and the presence of birds is celebrated.”
“As Delhi rapidly modernizes, the old city’s core keeps a different rhythm. On a fourth-floor rooftop in Old Delhi, restaurant manager Mohammad Sajid can often be found tending to his pigeons in a traditional pastime known as kabutarbazi. In this series, photographer Nachiket Sharma offers a glimpse of this age-old relationship as Sajid’s calls and signals direct the pigeons’ undulating movement and their swift return home.”
