Dear friends,
Many mornings, I pause as I step outside to feel the air. Lately it has been cool and fresh. This planet is so full of beauty—and so much of our future, from the climate crisis to AI, is being decided now.
One of the great gifts of spiritual practice is the deep knowing that another way is possible. With so much injustice in this world, I feel sobered by the immense harm humans cause, and also encouraged by the goodness in our hearts.
As the ground shifts beneath our feet, we can each find ways to steady ourselves, to recollect that we are loved and held by this earth and one another. We can slow down, breathe, and find the courage to do what matters most.
