Nance,

This piece spoke to me…I recently had to deal with a half-dead young bunny my dog had mauled and left proudly at my doorstep. My wife in tears, I took the bunny to the edge of the woods behind my house and gently suffocated it before burying it in the ground. I struggled for days with my predicament, which holds a second, complicated layer of animal-human interactions, with my beloved dog being the attacker of this helpless creature. I couldn’t look at my dog for hours but slowly came to terms with her “dogness.” The memory of the bunny’s kicking legs haunted with me for days. Hope I did the right thing.

I’m so sad about the predator/prey dynamic that took such goodness. Seriously needing tissues.

With Nance’s permission, I’d like to let you know that a version of this essay was previously published in the free newspaper project “Art Work: A National Conversation about Art, Labor, and Economics”. All of the articles in this newspaper are readable (and the paper itself can be downloaded in several different ways, for free) at http://www.artandwork.us. Yay Spontaneous Vegetation!

Nancy – you bring out the beauty of dirt and animal friendship. I loved this piece.

i’m actually gettin’ the sense that the next decade won’t just be another dress rehearsal for the apocalypse like the last one was. actually doing the work here and now instead o’ endlessly “setting examples” is sounding pretty good right now.

Nance, I was so glad to see you in LA last month. Its inspiring to know strong women making it on the economies offered. Even more inspiring to know the ecological impact you have and will make.
Will try to live up to your distillations
