My hope for this earth day is that you will stand in wonder and awe in nature. Look up at the sky. Wiggle your toes in the grass. Look out over your favorite view. Take a moment to look at a bird, a butterfly. Watch the clouds drift by and the moon shine. Stand in wonder of the beauty of this amazing planet.
My second hope is that you will courageously, perhaps fearlessly, step into the messy middle we are all in: climate change, biodiversity decline, coral bleaching, water shortages, droughts, and toxins in food, air and water. Pick one topic that you have conviction about and step into that topic. Explore, learn and have a dialogue with others about that topic. Find your people who will champion this cause with you.
Lastly, my hope is that through wonder, awe, and courage that together we will pass through this messy middle we are in and emerge with a sense of hope and unity.
Enjoy our earth, it’s yours, mine and ours.
