ECO-GOSSIP
Advertisement
It is actually lovely, and important, that we keep gossiping about the living world around us.
The word "Gossip" is derived from the Old English godsibb "sponsor, godparent," It derives from God + sibb, meaning relative or kin (as in sibling).
The sense was extended in Middle English to "a familiar acquaintance, a friend, neighbor".
We now live in an attention economy, primarily mediated through screens. It has become harder to sustain the kinds of connection that we need.
The community we need is not just on screens, and it's not just people; it's animals, plants and places.
Come together with fellow humans to share observations about the living world around us.
To remember and re-engage.
More importantly, if the living world is not attended to, what will happen to it?
It's a simple thing to come together and eco-gossip, but it's important.
