Willow Defebaugh

You are looking in the mirror with the hopes it might validate the scattered celestial that struck Earth to become a body.

Slow down and reflect on the rhythms and cycles lit by time, insects with their lifetime of hours, the night sky blooming with moons, and you will see how small, how enormous this life really is.

Here's Maria's.

See how everything mirrors everything?

Creatures become other creatures as moon cycles unfurl to charge life with light.

While we bloom and glow, flowers that think no thought of the fossil, bright streaks of the possible, coming and going across the dark sky of time.

I'm your host Willow Defabaugh, and this is The Nature Of...

Speaking of bridging worlds, you might not think that climate activist and drag queen belong in the same sentence, but Patti Gonia does it all.

She has hiked a hundred miles in drag, she's bungee jumped in drag, and even rappelled off of the face of a cliff with Imogen Heap for their latest musical collaboration.

Patti is a force of nature, and she's here to remind us to take the work seriously,

but not ourselves.

I'm Willow Duffabaugh, and this is The Nature Of, where we look to the nature of our world for wisdom and ideas that change the way we live.
