The Gift of Life
Issue 348 • January/February 2025

 

In this issue of Resurgence & Ecologist, we celebrate the joyous theme – The Gift of Life. 

 

In his Slow Read article, Paul Evans shares his surprising discovery of the enchanting and mostly overlooked ecosystem hosted by the ‘dead-looking’ gnarly stump of a tree felled by a storm, and that got us thinking about how The Gift of Life often shows up in the most unexpected places. 

We go on to explore this idea with articles that shine a light on The Gift of Service and The Gift of Young People and Their Superpowers.

 

We feature many deeply moving and life-affirming pieces – from textile artist Anna-Louise Meynell’s extraordinary tale and work with artisan weavers in India, to Sharmila Desai’s celebration of the gift of yoga, to Satish Kumar musings on the divine entanglement that is the gift of life.
