This is your best article yet! Perhaps it's because it is close to your heart. Perhaps it's the engaging way you talked about your story (actually drew me in more than any query). I don't know what it is and it might just be the fact I'm enjoying my first (and best) cup of coffee of the day and I'm best in the morning, but I don't think so. I think this was the most honest (not implying there was anything deceptive in the past) but just so very real and present feeling about the words and the message here. Brava, my friend.
I love that you have written a fiction book on the experience of being an orchid. This article really traces your heartfelt journey and what drew you to share your passion for celebrating 'all plants in the garden' drawing on the current research. Language does matter - it celebrates the beauty of a flower, its natural uniqueness with all its strengths and weaknesses, rather than pathologise it. Thanks for this.
Thanks for this feedback! And you really hit the nail on the head - I don’t want any label to pathologize this trait…. Let’s seek to understand and celebrate instead of pathologizing. Thank you!
I am truly enjoying learning about this subject and looking forward to reading the story.
Ohhh thank you so much for this feedback! I’m excited to be sharing more about this story… more to follow!
