*FIRST DISPATCH 23RD JULY* When we write about ourselves, our friends, and our communities, we unavoidably write about nature. In the time between summer and winter solstices, we weather heat, frost, rebirth and loss. Across a year, this ever-changing environment affects our internal landscapes, too: we might open ourselves wider to joy and risk in spring and summer, or pull the people and things we love close and safe in autumn and winter. If we pay attention, we can feel these differences keenly.
