Like so many of us, I'd pushed away, minimized, or forgotten many of the senses and relationships with other-than-humans I'd fostered as a child. I tried really hard to please my family, to fit in at school, then work. But I never succeeded.

Recorded at the Redcliffe Plantation in South Carolina, where many of the slaves reportedly stayed on as freedmen and sharecroppers until the 1970s.
