Co-becoming

In a tutorial we read this paper that listed the Country it was written about as an author

It's one of those ideas that's exciting to an academic (definition: scholarship), yet seems a bit academic to a broader audience (definition: not of practical relevance). 

I'm still collecting my thoughts, so at this point I'm probably simultaneously excited and not relevant. 

Another thing that was interesting about the tutorial was the Acknowledgment of Country was done in Irish and reflected on that connection with the landscape. 

It reminded me that the closest I feel to a sense of co-becoming is asking the Country if I can proceed. 

I imagine that is like my Celtic forebears reciting ancient words to stir yeast when cooking or brewing with the belief the bread or beer will be flat if I don't.
