I pass these words on in the spirit of Spring Theory, hoping they live long and fruitful lives.

Avumbra ~ brief shadow cast upon oneself by a bird flying in the path of the sun.

Auranima ~ sun shines on glossy leaves, wet pebbles or corvid feathers, turning them ‘white’.

Cavignus ~ flickering sunlight deep in a natural hollow.

Corsindolorn ~ perceiving nature whilst free of worry/heartache, since all appears well.

Cortiform ~ all the variable characteristic features of bark.

Cupilustria ~ yearning for the wild.

Esranebulous ~ uncanny light produced by the carbon atoms from the deaths of living forests. The Ghostlight of the Anthropocene.

Floloca ~ perceiving ‘place as flowing’, not simply as human, but conscious imagination along the dynamic matrix of life and death, and at a spectrum of scales.

Fluminism ~ the interconnected narrative of universe, there is flow to and from all dimensions, including ones we are yet to understand. The complexity is endless, the minutiae beautiful. A powerful form of love.

Fluminist ~ a living being whose compassionate actions contribute to continuation of dynamic flows of interconnectedness, to nurture them and to protect them towards a mutual end, whereby all life has opportunity to flourish, rather than to harm or prevent. A powerful form of love.

Fluminophilia/iac ~ the love of rivers, a river loving person.

Hubrigenesis ~ the evolutionary aftermath of the biospheric violence of the Anthropocene.

Humammal ~ humans as ‘animal’.

Kinnage ~ a new kind of human/non-human community living. Where nature and fluminism is paramount, ourselves being just a part of the whole.

Kinnaria ~ wild places in and around cities, urban areas and kinnages. To replace ‘Green Space,’ with awildian love and meaning.

Nagorasphere ~ the phenomenon of ‘exchange’ in nature, as a significant part of the biosphere.

Patientism ~ realisation that accute ardean (heron-like) potential is within us all, primed for imagining the moment of exquisite action in the flow of all life.

Praximund  ~ the deepest possible respect for natural processes, and a fundamental requisite of fluministic action.

Rockle ~ the sound of beach rocks drawn seaward by the backrush of waves.

Sanguimund ~ seeing nature as community, affecting the viscera, and another fundamental requisite of fluministic action.

Spring Theory ~ when a neologism is created it is passed on. It evolves, by memory and in feeling from being to being. Before long, it is realised and lived.

Summimbers ~ curtains of rain seen at a distance.

Symling/s ~ colloquial name for holobiont/s

Transilience Gap ~ biodiversity declines and climate changes may require more radical solutions before many people are ‘ready’ to take the risk. There is a gap or a deficit.

Tweavelet ~ small leaf bundle snagged around a twig, in and around rivers.

Tweeterie ~ philosophy by tweet thread.

Valens (Planet) ~ a re-naming of our planet, to promote love as fundamental to life-process (fluminism).

Vitanance ~ being right in itself, stemming from diversity, proliferation and of the complexity of all life. As opposed to human dominion being wrong.

Wrenly ~ the joyous resilience of a tiny (river) bird. One can also be ‘wrenly.’

Xenotrauma ~ specific new and heinous form of human anguish inflicted by those prejudiced against foreigners, xenophobes who despise and fear desperate people fleeing desperate situations. Particularly profound at hard, international borders.
