Joanna Macy lived for 96 years and died on the 19th of July. She was a wise teacher with a an open loving heart and bright mind. Loving this earth and all beings from past, present and future. If you feel despair for this world, read her work. She will continue to inspire many.

After she died I thought about the elm dance and the elm tree. Thinking there was not one close to me, but also that there should be. The day after I went exploring and close to my forest home in Germany I found an elm. There is great comfort to be found in trees who have been here for so much longer than we have and who will continue to be here.

With gratitude, with sadness, with lust for life and determined to continue this work

"How Facing Grief Can Help Us Navigate a World in Crisis" | Reality Roundtable #17 - The Great Simplification

I hope you can find the time to listen to these three beautiful humans sharing "The Work That Reconnects", which is a 48 hour workshop or process I myself have participated once. Take the time to let all their words in, and hopefully allow yourself to have the faith that this works (I've lived it myself, and so have they, facilitating hundreds of such workshops, and seeing the impact they have).
It's not true that we humans are cancer for the planet. We can live in many other ways, much more respectful with Mother Nature and (therefore) ourselves. It's only this particular culture ("modernity", we could call it?) that seems to have really lost sight of what being a human is.

Also, I deeply recommend this podcast. Nate brings such rich (not talking about money, of course) and wise people, I've learnt son much!

Sorry for the youtube link. Other ways to listen to it: (sadly all big techs): https://www.thegreatsimplification.com/episode/reality-roundtable-17
