It is a long time since I made or watched a film poem, so thank you for this, so immersive, beautiful. ki/kin makes perfect sense, doesn’t it, and to say ki, imagining it as one of the first sounds one made as an infant.
Beautiful observation Bee! Ki as early infant sound makes even more sense. I do feel we are born knowing this relation with beings of living earth, it is so innate. Perhaps we are finding our way back to a language we spoke from birth.
'Ki' fits perfectly in the mouth, nestled at the back of the tongue, a sacred space for a sacred word designating the kinship of all living and non-living beings. Great post, thank you!
That is a cosy description Julie - nestled at the back of the tongue. Ki does feel so very nestled, kin, like peas in a pod cocooning together. Happy to find you here!

Your badges are…. pure joy.

I love that Rosie. What is your prefered background colour? I may have some electric blue silk scraps…
Ooh I'm down with anything in the realms of blue, green, turquoise, aqua... Electric blue silk sounds ace

Your badges are beautiful Julia. Super clever initiative.
And I like 'ki' - it's easy to say and rhymes with quirky. I hope it catches on.
Thanks Yasmin! Yes, imagine if we just start using the ki/kin pronouns, and explaining to folks what they signify, it could catch on pretty quickly.
