Unhindred, not a typo

What is Unhindred? The original name for my website, unhindred is a portmanteau I created of Unhindered and Kindred. However, autocorrect keeps reverting it to unhindered, so it made it hard to find the site.

Unhindered: free, unshackled, unburdened, without barriers, without fear.

Kindred: family, life, the interaction of human kin, animal kin, feather, fur, fin and scale kin, microscopic and macroscopic kin, plant kin, stone kin, earth kin, star kin, fey kin. The interactions between worlds, time, multiverses.

Unhindred: The wish for all beings to live unhindered, together, without fear of one dominating the other, without barriers that exclude and inhibit, without prejudice that says one side is ‘more’ than another, one creature more worthy of life than another. Life without the destruction of life, habitat without the elimination of other habitats, communication evolving beyond structured language to include all species.

This is possible. Not easy, but possible. The first step is listening not just to humanity, but to the earth.
