seeds & shoots

a field-guide of beautiful questions

a seedwhere do you keep returning?

A seed is a photograph and a question. A shoot is whatever grows when someone sits with it: a few lines, a memory, some wisdom borne of experience... even a quarrel with the question itself.

Four times a year, on the solstices and equinoxes, we gather a handful of seeds and the reflections that grew from them, online today, and in print one day (ask to be notified).

No ads, no followers, no likes to chase.
Just a question, and room to share your response to it.

Invited to contribute, or just curious? Here is what seeds & shoots stands for, and how it works: our principles, a guide for contributors, about.
