A little interview with Micheal over at Bold Journey - https://boldjourney.com/meet-ashley-weber/

I always leave with the same exact thought after spending time in spectacularly wild places. Those places where your phone immediately becomes absolutely useless. Where there are no stores, no roads, no running water, no electricity, where you spend your days sweating and tired, hiking for hours on end in silence. Hot tea at night, flannel lined, chunky sleeping bags, made up games with your favorite person, talking for hours over candle light… and you’re never bored.

It leaves me thinking:
How fu***ng dumb it all is. What we consider “the real world.” Where there’s almost nothing real left.
And in reality, this is where everything is real. The only place where everything is real.
No pretending.
Where you can witness moose and bears and deer and hawks and the mushroom and the trees just living, in their cycles, just being. Life and death. Foraging and hunting and just existing.

Never once do I give one single solitary tiny fu***ng s**t about what I can scroll, what I can buy, what I need that isn’t right there.
How sad it is to know that’s what’s happening continuously in the real world. And I’m sorry if it makes you upset, but why on this damn planet, do you need more than one app to scroll the absolute garbage that is out there!? …That’s not a real question, everyone has a 100 excuses that quite frankly, I can’t agree with. I just can’t. And that alone makes me desperately sad.

Excuse me for sounding really pi**ed off… but I am. We’ve have replaced real life. We have replaced friends and conversations with robots and screens. We have made 5million excuses for ai. It all seems so damn pathetic. So ugly. Mowing down every single beautiful habitat so that you can have faster internet?

Nature.
By hand.
Learn to fu***ng grow something already, it isn’t cute.
Sweat a little, for gods sake.
No one needs ti hear from you immediately.

I get that we live in the modern world. I get it. I use this phone and this app and I get sucked in and lose beautiful moments because of it too. I’m not saying I’m anywhere near perfect about it, and maybe that pi**es me off all the more… because as a person who wants it to all disappear, I can’t have it. Continued in comments..

I’ve found the pull to film or take photos of what I’m working on to be dwindling fast. Giving in fully to the moment of things. Losing care about who sees it. There’s so much joy in it that I don’t even realize I’ve stopped participating, until I do, and that makes me happy, honestly…because it’s better here. I’ve realized it’s happening because I’m happy and excited and content and growing and I’m finding everything I need right in my own bubble of my own making. It’s something big and beautiful and it feels like it not only shows in my work, but can be felt in it too.

The artist and maker in me has found a place where it’s thrive vs. survive and in all honesty, it’s a huge relief because a few years ago, I thought it was all almost lost.

Thank you for being here.

The level of magic and beauty happening in a garden feels like something you cannot even fathom until you’re a part of the collaboration. Until you’re contributing to the plan and realize all of the hidden work. The network under the soil. Physical, chemical and biological interactions. Roots in cooperation, in the trading of resources, and fungal bridges feeding microbes.

On the surface, things are just as busy. This year, towhees constantly tended to my grub issues until there were none. Honey Bees, bumblebees, hummingbirds and butterflies worked to pollinate so that I could eat. The hum of bees every morning feels like such a gift... Like we’ve become the most supportive network of friends, working together to build something bigger than ourselves.

The mice, the rabbits, the squirrels, the birds? We’re all good...friends, even. We all share this space for peace, safety, and respite, and still, the garden grows. Everyone is allowed and no one oversteps and the herbs and marigolds and lavender keep the pests away. It is poetic and giving and thriving and the beauty of it has filled my creative nail holes. And so I saw and solder and build tiny rabbits out of clay and butterflies out metal and pin them all together, slip and score, and let my work be an ode to what I’ve seen and I feel it all in a way I never have before.

This space, this collaboration of soil and roots and water and insects and seeds and sun- it’s one of the most beautiful things that we can be involved in. It is history and sustenance and what makes us. But a garden is so much more than food, more than what you see or harvest, the work that you put into your garden- it also puts into you. A balm like nothing else. A therapy no other can provide.

There truly has been no shortage of magical animal moments in my garden this year… from the cowbird that would chase me and my hose in the mornings, earlier this summer, for a drink, a berry, and a bath, to this sweet tiny bunny who, if you’ve been in my stories the last few weeks, finds me everywhere, boops my legs and toes in the garden with his tiny nose, finds me on my front patio watering, and has even allowed a few little top of the head, single finger pets.

Last nights moment took the cake. I was down at the garden, checking in on the plants when I found him in one of the beds, settling in for a little nap under the nasturtiums. I sat down next to him and was hoping to catch him dozing off, watching his eyelids get heavy…when this happened.

It was such a special, beautiful moment. I love that he didn’t even flinch, how animals know what sounds are safe and which are not. How they know who is a friend. My time with this tiny thing every day has been so strange and perfect. A balm for my heart without my sweet Indy by my side this summer.
