Shedding Skin: The Year of the Wood Snake | Atmos
Just as a snake sheds its skin, we must shed our past over and over again
Poet Diane Ackerman on reinventing yourself:
“Living things tend to change unrecognizably as they grow. Who would deduce the dragonfly from the larva, the iris from the bud, the lawyer from the infant?
Flora or fauna, we are all shapeshifters and magical reinventors. Life is really a plural noun, a caravan of selves.”
