How do words shape our world? In this week’s narrated essay, writer
Chelsea Steinauer-Scudder visits the wind-sculpted dunes of
Nebraska’s Sandhills, considering the prophecies that collided
across the American Great Plains in the nineteenth century. Tracing
the histories of violence, conquest, and degradation that have
played out there, Chelsea locates the points at which human and
wilderness were separated. Wondering what words, what prophetic
voices are needed to guide us out of an entrenched dualism, she
calls us to remember that we have always been intimately linked
with the cycles of our ecosystems. Read this essay on our website.
