As one who is deeply committed to addressing climate change, your words resonate.
I am a physician who has reduced my practice in order to volunteer with an organization that focuses on “what we are for” rather than “what we are against” (a federal/global price on greenhouse gas emissions). We build the political will to allow this to happen by building relationships, engaging with ALL people from a point of generosity and respect, even if her/his point of view differs from our own.
Gratefulness.org has served as food for my soul as I have the privilege to navigate these trouble times with hope and perseverance.
With gratitude for your work, Lisa

I have been struggling with a low mood of late, for a variety of reasons. Yesterday’s walk was so enriched by jotting short phrases, the beginning of haiku, all along the way. I probably wrote about 20 or so in one hour. It brought me so much joy to write them , share them on Facebook with a challenge to others to do the same, and a challenge to a friend who is the father of three young children to have them explore writing haiku as well.

I shared this one yesterday, but it probably captures my joy from this week’s exercise better than the others. It is a practice I will definitely continue. With gratitude!
