Perhaps my mission, is ultimately, to love deeper, harder, wider, more openly, more courageously than I ever have before.
Listening to two older woman sitting next to me in the cafe, chat about the state of the world. The fear of the unknown, the looming fact that a mass extinction is occurring right before us. The fact that having a child in this world right now seems terrifying and that if she were younger, she wouldn't even consider having a child at this point.
In so many ways I couldn't agree more, and I feel that we are all ignoring the fragility of our species, and the species of the world, due to our own behaviors. The planet in and of itself, she is powerfully resilient. And humans are resilient, within their own limitations and their own stubborn and set ways. We are capable of so much, but not when we are so disconnected from one another.
All I can pledge to do, is to continually minimize my waste, live presently, live openly, live LIGHT on this earth; light in footprint, light in cadence, light in words, light in love, light in impact, light in interaction. I pledge to bring connection into this world. I pledge to bring as much restoration, love, and care that I can to the natural world and to humans. I pledge to be more engaged with this world -- engaged with my community, engaged with self, engaged with expression, engaged with freedom of art forms. I pledge to be fearless and courageous at this time.
