This Wild & Precious Life | A Benevolent Journey Within

 Welcome to 

This Wild & Precious Life | A Benevolent Journey Within Newsletter & Blog

• The Substack newsletter shares updates, events, projects, and a brief monthly reflection.
   
• The blog essays expand on that month’s theme in more depth.
   

This space is grounded in the belief that meaningful change rarely begins with certainty; it begins not only with attention, but with intention. With small, thoughtful acts. With people willing to pause, notice, and choose each other.

Here you’ll find lived experiences, questions worth staying with, and reflections shaped by time and direct experience. Perhaps along the way, something here will help you recognize the mileposts already present in your own life — quietly guiding you along your own benevolent journey.

As the anthropologist Margaret Mead famously said:

“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has.”
