Terrified, I took deep breaths as I made my way across, almost giving up halfway. Then I screamed with excitement at the end. For my 49th birthday, I combined a series of trips to create an epic adventure. A month in the Caribbean, starting in Aruba, followed by Bonaire, Mexico, and Cuba. Finally, I was feeling brave-ish.
In Tanzania, my 100th Country, I got close enough to the elephants to take selfies. In Kenya, I took my hula hoop to a village. The children loved having a turn and even the warriors joined in! One laughed so hard he fell down!
As he pushed off the edge, we free fell away from the plane. Soaring through the air like a bird, the wind pulled my face back and the earth rushed up at me. Then, parachute deployed, we peacefully floated like clouds.
For additional context, the magazine is semi-academic in nature. It is a theological publication and very much so not peer-reviewed, though the editorial board does take an active interest in making sure it's "up to snuff," which my paper had gone through in October.
A Post Script:Thank you everyone! Based on what you've said, I decided to reach back out to the editor. He decided to come back with a rejection, though he has given me useful feedback over this whole 5 month process. Unfortunate, but not fruitless. Either way, a good learning experience. Thank you, again!
The turnaround times in scientific journals are about 2 months on average and usually no longer than 3 months. Often, the first review is followed by a revision of the article that the editors or reviewers have suggested, so that the overall time between first submission and final publication can take up to around a year.
Commonly it should be communicated to you how long the respective steps in the decision making and publication process will take, or at least what the next step will be (so you can make an educated guess). In the absence of such communication it is impossible to know how long this individual editor will need to come to a conclusion about your submission, especially since you didn't disclose the name of the magazine and the circumstances of the indecision.
Looking at 2 major Christian magazines, they have quite a detailed guideline including the vetting process they do: Christianity Today says 3 weeks (with special consideration for author-imposed deadline), First Things says 4 weeks (with invitation to send a follow-up query).
Another idea is to ask well-published authors who have previously published to various theological journals and magazines such as theology professor Roger Olson (his publication list here) who also maintains a blog where he is very responsive to comments.
NOAA Fisheries, upon request from the U.S. Navy, issues these regulations to govern the taking of marine mammals during the maintenance and pile replacement construction activities at the Ammunition Wharf at Naval Magazine Indian Island in Puget Sound, Washington, over the course of 5 years (2024 to 2029). These regulations, which allow for the issuance of Letters of Authorization for the incidental take of marine mammals during the described activities and timeframes, prescribe the permissible methods of taking and other means of effecting the least practicable adverse impact on marine mammal species and their habitat, and establish requirements pertaining to the monitoring and reporting of such taking.
I was not the first to undertake this trek. Trekkers have traversed the Camino for nearly a thousand years. In the ninth century, the devout from across Europe first began making the pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela in far western Spain, where the remains of St. James (or in Spanish, Santiago) supposedly reside. Since then, millions upon millions of brave souls walked the trail to pay penance, ask a blessing or find answers within themselves.
The traditional starting point is the quaint French village of St. Jean Pied-de-Port, and thus it was mine too. After a harrowing first night in a dormitory with several Olympic-level snorers and a bizarre breakfast of baguette and bitter coffee in a bowl, I was raring to go. Standing on the cobblestone street at dawn, I adjusted my scary-minimal pack one last time. Now all that was left was to run the 500 miles in front of me. Deep breath. Deep breath. And go.
Luckily, the French countryside was more inviting, the surrounding farmland so verdant and idyllic it felt clich. I waved at docile cows and hummed happily to myself as I began the 5,000-foot climb up and over the Pyrenees. But country roads and sunshine soon gave way to rock-strewn trails and a soggy, bone-chilling blanket of fog. After battling through lonely highland mist in France for nearly two hours, I crested the ridge, crossed the border and suddenly found myself careening down steep singletrack into Spain.
After the Pyrenees, Spain becomes very, very flat. I ran for days under the immense Iberian sky. I was surrounded by golden wheat fields in every direction. I ran through cobblestone streets of tiny stone villages, where my guidebook claimed 52 people live yet I never saw a soul. I crossed bridges built by queens 600 years ago, peeked into cathedrals where the faithful have worshipped for centuries and bounded down ancient roads laid by the Romans millennia ago.
To celebrate the release of this remarkable new work, we asked Kamea Chayne, host of the Green Dreamer Podcast, to speak with Pritchett about geology, parenting, and the imperative of being responsible ancestors.
DP: We lived in Kenya during my childhood, which gave me exposure to a completely different culture and ecosystem than the one in the United States to which we returned when I was a teenager. While I was not aware of it then, I would say looking back that this gave me a tacit understanding that there are many worlds in this one.
I took a course once that encouraged us to write a letter to an ancestor in order to grapple with the legacy of white supremacy. That was a really fruitful activity for me. Researching and exploring the life of one of my ancestors, Captain William Ware, an enslaver and one of the first settlers in the hill country of Texas, helped to give specificity and context to the time in which he lived and the decisions he made.
In the Kimeru culture I grew up alongside, ancestors were kept alive in a way by reusing their names in new generations. By naming a child after their great uncle, that ancestor is still present in a way.
KC: I really resonated with your chapter titled THE WATERSHED AND THE GRID, in which you point out how grid maps are indifferent to the contours of the land. I would be curious to have you talk more about this idea of being more or less in tune with the dynamics and relationalities of the land through the grid or the watershed, and what lessons some of these historic and present day stories can offer.
The watershed, on the other hand, is likewise somewhat abstract, but attends to the contours of the terrain, and a watershed-informed human community would work with the flow of water rather than attempt to control it.
We have physiological and cultural abilities to enhance our places, to struggle in partnership with other species. Whether we do so depends entirely on us, and engaging in struggles of solidarity within our own species and for the benefit of many species.
In another part, I think when talking about rootlessness, you mention how the roots of whiteness may be allelopathic, which refers to a species altering its surroundings to make them less hospitable to certain other forms of competing life while making them more hospitable to the species and community configuration that they rely on.
I think rigorous study of all of this is important because it helps us both uncover the roots of allelopathic cultural ways of being, and inspires us to find alternative ways of being in the world in ways that promote diversity and mutual flourishing.
I agree with this assessment. As I discussed earlier, of the reasons I think it is important to claim lineages that we feel uncomfortable with is that I think accountability must come from relationships, and we need to create accountability for historical harms, by undoing restructuring the systems and relationships they created, but also we need to be in relationship with bad kin so that we can hold them accountable, despite the tension and conflict accountability may require. More broadly, if we are to create a movement of solidarity on behalf of the places and people we love, we have to include broad coalitions of people who will not look or think like we do.
Race is a cultural construct, and so too, is whiteness. But while I hope for a day in which the binary of whiteness and blackness, or settler and native, has faded away to a plurality of place- based cultures, that day is not today. So I am working in the ways I can to take apart the logic and systems that create above and below in hopes of what the Zapatistas call a world where many worlds can fit.
DP: Over two of the years I was writing Mossback, the global pandemic was raging, people were uprising against police violence, and every year wildfires devastated many of the communities around me in California.
Matter has been consolidating and organizing to metabolize meaning for a long time, and through many extinction events. So I resist the existential terror of imagining humans disappearing, because I think life itself will persist and continue to unfold in beautiful ways.
