The following essay appeared in the first issue of Silence & Starsong in 2023. We’re sharing it here at The Watchfire because it speaks directly to what this publication is trying to do and because some things are worth saying twice, to a bigger room. If it brings you here for the first time, welcome. If you’ve read it before, we hope it reads differently now that the fire is lit.
