So, rest in peace to the woke DEI pope who urged us to act on climate as a key part of our shared commitment to care for creation and stand up for justice. This work goes on.

And Laudato Si should be read aloud as a eulogy—even if you are not blocking trucks.

So if anyone else had the week I did, they probably had to talk folks down a ledge (figuratively). Here are 2 breathing techniques I use that are very helpful when someone has a panic attack: 4-7-8 breathing and modified earth breathing.

All three hives were buzzing about in the sun this afternoon.

It is nice to have a break from the bitter cold. I think a lot about how the bees survive the bitterness and cold. They cluster together, flap their wings to generate heat, and keep each other warm.

If the bees can do it, so can we.

It is time for us to begin imagining a world without hierarchy, social or otherwise.

I invite you to take a deep breath and really let yourself imagine. What do you see?

I’ll go first: I see laughing, contented children.

I can’t overstate how abundant the resources and guidance are when it comes to building connection, working to stay grounded, staying present and feeling, and using the survival/thriving skills of joy, imagination, care, and creativity.
I mean, the material is everywhere. We just have to do it.
