After the response to my posts about nature cure, and the conversation they opened about the myths surrounding it, I wanted to reshare this deeply personal piece.

It’s about choosing permanence over performance. About the profound impact drystone walling and physical labour had on my relationship with my body and male desire.

This essay is adapted from my book Drystone – A Life Rebuilt.

@kristiedegaris Thank you for sharing your journey. It’s really powerful and I will remember your words when next in Scotland seeing a drywall.

@kristiedegaris - strangely, I find myself reading that with tears in my eyes. Admiration, perhaps, and respect.
