It’s a lovely project Rosie. As you say, people focus on the fire but the recovery, the transformation after devastation, is the story we humans need to hear as we face our unstable planet’s heating.
We were part owners of a house that burned in the Black Saturday bushfires north of Melbourne. We weren’t there that weekend, but the feeling of it’s obliteration and visiting the slim layer of ash, which was all that remained of our happy place, stays with me.
But things grow back, people move on. The earth heals, but it’s never the same.
Rosie, your account of Zennor brought tears to my eyes ..... and your mention of Canada brought back the Lytton fire in June 2021 .... I lived relatively near there for many years, have friends with homes there (one completely burned down, the other wasn`t touched...), and it used to have my 89 year-old father`s favourite pub.... I am in awe of your fabulous project & hope you share more of it in the future. Sending soooo much love to you ... & Finn :-) ... from Mexico. Namaste. xxxx

What a deep sadness and loss that must have been Terri. The recovery journey os so important.
