Warm yourself with the beautiful words of @LaurenETynan and @nessscavvv, as 'F' is for 'Fire'.

Vanessa, a Bundjalung and Wonnarua woman, writes of the quiet warmth and pleasure of burning Country with her kids and the connections between fire and darkness, 1/

[shadowplacesnetwork @shadowplacesne1]

@LaurenETynan: “We can tell you about fire. About the way it trickles like water, responds to our emotions, dances in the shapes of spirit-beings. We can tell you it is nurturing, healing, cool and calm. Do you believe us? We talk of the right fire, the good fire for Country.” 4/

Come for a tour below the surface in "R" is for "Reef (Coral)" with Cameron McKean. These reefs are elusive, both alive and dead, and ever assembling: "You just need to dive deeper, and you'll see it..."

[shadowplacesnetwork @shadowplacesne1]

"N" is for "Novel". @focx's vivid photo essay offers a vocabulary of resistance for invasion ecology. "Novelty implies mistakes, and invites forgiveness: essential elements of care-fully engaging with shadow places. Admitting defeat can open up new paths".

[shadowplacesnetwork @shadowplacesne1]

“D” is for “Damage”. @DonnaHouston_ writes about the “the iridescent edges of disturbance” in an urban wasteland. Here, there is life in the shadows and “the potential for the ethical and political navigation of ‘impure’ states of more-than-human flourishing”.
