Yesterday, an essay of mine went live at The Deadlands, a lovely publication for speculative fiction, poetry, and nonfiction around death. My piece is a reflection on "nonhuman thanatology". In it, I question the human baseline that we often lean upon when wondering whether other animals "understand" death.
Do we? Consistently? Universally?
A little humility goes a long way in the cosmos.
Happy Friday, CoSo. 🖤🌌
@joycereynoldsward Oh, that makes so much sense! I love the word you've used for it - "resolution". Some kind of affirmation that, yes, this fellow - kindred - critter now belongs to this other state of being. And then one can begin to move on.
Thank you for sharing insights from your field!
@MLClark you're welcome.
