Rewilding
I sometimes find my imagination can’t get beyond the concrete sidewalks that cover our urban habitats. Do you? My perspective hardens and stiffens into asphalt. Dark tar binds ideas into inanimate slag that slumps down into my consciousness. The world becomes mundane, mortared with an architecture of ennui. In these moments, I have to remember every crack in the cement is an expression of wildness. The world is seething with natural forces. Trees all over Little Rock revolt against our straight lines. Parachuting seeds of anarchy drop from the wild skies and bunker down in crevasses. Raccoons and foxes hunt the nocturnal hours in my backyard and Mississippi Kites patrol the daylight hours from the canopy. If we encourage our imagination to run wild, our behavior may follow. If we intentionally think in wild terms, our policies may become feral. I think the ghosts of old ecosystems are merely waiting for us to invite them back into the world we inhabit. George Monbiot recently wrote a great book that looks at rewilding from a policy perspective. Here is a great video that outlines his ideas: rewilding. But we will never rewild our world until we allow our imaginations to become feral.
Live wildly,
Kyle Holton

Dothan, Alabama: Market at Dothan is OPEN
Goodbye August . . .
Vendor Spotlight
Within the context of the Market, its easy to think of our Vendors in terms of the products they provide. For example, I say “Angie”, you think “Pasta”. I say “Casablanca”, you think “Beef”. I can just about guarantee that when I say “Aughtmon” you won’t think “Kittens”! But kittens it is and Lee has something special going on this week. I hope you’ll support him in this charity drive and stock up on some super good stocking stuffers, and maybe even spoil yourself some in the process!
“From time to time I like to raise money or collect donations for a good cause. I have recently started supporting a local organization called ‘Kitty Kottage’. They are a local shelter for housing kittens until they find their forever homes. They depend greatly on donations from the public in order to buy food and pay all veterinary bills associated with keeping them healthy and getting them spayed and neutered. They are one of few, possibly the only one locally that will take in kittens. They are the nicest and cleanest shelter I have seen. They are on facebook if you wanna see what they are all about, Kitty kottage Dothan. This week I will donate $2 from every bar of soap that I sell to Kitty kottage. Help me raise at least $100 to show our support and how much we care about God’s animals. Thank you for your support and God bless you! “
And Late Breaking News from Sandspur . . .”We will join forces with Aughtmon 1918 in his support of Kitty Kottage. We will also donate a portion of our sales. Just as long as it doesn’t get back to my dog Luke that despises cats. :)”
