On contemplating plants

Domei is the practice of listening with your whole body — to wind, to bark, to the breath between you and a plant.

It began when I realised I wasn’t hungry for more facts — I was starving for felt connection.

So I stepped outside the frameworks, the fix-me rituals, the clever systems.

And returned to the senses.

Domei means deep listening — not just with ears, but with skin, breath, and bones.

It doesn’t belong to any lineage or ideology.

It begins when you sit beside a living thing and stay long enough to be changed.

Not with answers — but with a softening, a shift, a quiet knowing.

This is not spiritual.
It’s older than that.
