Joanna Macy has been a critical leader and teacher for me. She gently shines the light on truth and helps me approach feelings I have no idea how to hold. She is a lover of the Earth and humankind. This interview is a profoundly heartfelt siren call. Carve some time for it if you can. It will soften you, expose the nerve, and open your eyes.
I am here to love all the things, and you, my dear friend, are included in that love. May we bolster one another and help ignite the care in everyone’s heart.
May we love our Earth more fiercely than ever before.
big hug and immense love for you that are here circling the same fire with me.
love,
Sarah

What a gift Joanna’s words are for us … for me. I’ve been a climate spiritualist I suppose since my high school days. I’ve felt deep in my bones that God and Mother Earth were one, by honoring her, I honor the Creator of all.
My recent return to urban landscape proves to require more dedication to this love and reverence, the redwoods and open ocean no longer at my doorstep. Instead Hwy 5 will take me to beaches travelled to by many but empty of the vastness I encountered in my previous home. It’s a new opportunity to be even more present with more distraction to turn away from and deeper need for that love of “all the things”. Thank you for sharing, for writing, for giving and for believing that it matters. You too are a gift to this world.
