Yes, it is possible to slip into the being of a newt—or even into the spirit of a spring breeze.
My first truly life-changing encounter with this idea was Ray Bradbury's beautiful short story The April Witch. The other piece of writing that moved me with the same extraordinary power is yours, Maria.
I will check this out right away!! And yes I truly believe u inhabit the consciousness of many things around us. I felt it during a psychedelic experience for me however.
Cover photo is a little bit foggy, we have these orange spotted newts in New England, the orange spots are bright neon Orange, they are the cutest little creatures
Oh my goodness! You turned me into a newt!
I ran across the rocks, hid beneath the ferns, sipped droplets of morning dew, and stood in awe before my favorite waterfall!
wow, what an amazing adventure you had!
Wow this comment is so beautiful 🥹🥰
It really is!

Was this the orange spotted newt?
