A reminder that we are not on the Earth, but of it. There is a web of mutuality woven through all things.

It does not serve us to think of climate problems as being outside of us, separate from our daily preoccupations.

It does not serve anyone for those of us with privilege to think of racism and inequity as problems separate from our daily preoccupations.

We cannot think or science our way to a false and ‘easy’ safety, free from responsibility, empathy, and action.

Breathe in, breathe out. Touch the Earth, touch the sky. Bring a hand to your heart. Your home is right here. Your family all around.

Happy Earth Day. 💚
