Abstract
Coming to this blank page is exciting and terrifying. Exciting, because of the opportunities and possibilities that open up, and terrifying, because within these same possibilities chaos awaits. In this chapter I take up writing as a mode of becoming. My narrative is woven from glimpses of my sixteen-year engagement with/in social ecology, where, as an educator and researcher I work with becoming with/in social ecology using creative learning. My practice of writing lets the body into the writing acknowledging affect and the idiosyncratic life paths towards the always in process present, as well as ecological understandings of self as being in relation to others and to the world.
