Drawing on Taoist and Ch’an Buddhist philosophies, David reveals how offering attention to the beauty of simple moments, like birdsong and blossom-fall, can bring us into a particular quality of awareness; and how the cycles of absence and presence in the seasons are mirrored by the cycles of form and emptiness in our own inner worlds.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;a href="https://emergencemagazine.org/conversation/an-ethics-of-wild-mind/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;Read&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/u&gt; the transcript.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;a href="https://store.emergencemagazine.org/products/volume-6-seasons" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;Discover&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/u&gt; our latest print edition, &lt;em&gt;Volume 6: Seasons&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Photo by Phil Dera&lt;/p&gt;</description>
