How do we go on?

We’re at a tipping point.

We’ve got to be.

Sometimes it can feel frighteningly overwhelming. But occasionally I hear or read something that gives me hope, like this: “... at a certain point enough people say there are things that matter more than politics or money. There is no power on this Earth that can resist an idea whose time has come.”

A new friend from my Permaculture Design Course (another optimism-inducing thing) shared this article and I like how she summed it up: “A great read, for those wondering how to respond to worries about our climate crisis. Taking a walk, participating in protests, starting a conversation, connecting with our home (Earth), falling in love with the Earth, it all helps.”

Read it to the end.
