Earth Day is a good day. Earth Day seems worth celebrating.

Today is the day we have, no different than any other day. Make them count.

You are welcome to applaud this public service announcement.

Bonus: a graphic from Hunter's piece. Again, he's writing about particular issues in one specific country but his advice has much relevance to Deep Adaptation and the DA ethos as a whole.

Amusing Ourselves to Death

In the U.S. the National Weather Service and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration provide locally and globally vital information.

Upcoming Deep Adaptation Forum gatherings - see event link next post.

When a friend’s house is reduced to this and the outpouring of care knows no bounds.

What is the world you wish to inhabit and with whom do you wish to share it?

The answer is easy, no? The execution may not be simple but the effort is always-always-always worthwhile.

Things are falling apart?

“No need to worry. Things will fall together at the right time. Creation is still happening and we are part of it. Let things fall together.”

- Micmac descendant Evan Pritchard in his book No Word for Time (‘…things take as long as they take…’)

With collapse awareness & collapse acceptance --> ecstatic visions and gardening may occur.

Prayer too, in the broadest sense of the word, depending on your spiritual persuasion.

Fewer words more movement.

'You know what I think? That what I feel, what I sense, in my body, is worth exploring. Maybe if sense together we can clear our heads and then make some real headway.'

We ought to embrace our entangled state, work with it and each other, exploring "the limits and possibilities of our shared environment rather than hoping for walls, moats, ethnostates, apocalypse retreats, treasure troves, or spacecrafts to sever us from it."

- Maggie Nelson in Riding the Blinds

Deep Adaptation Forum connects people, in all spheres of life, to foster mutual support and collaboration as we anticipate, observe, and experience societal disruption and collapse.

Unbridled thirst full stop.

In the future you imagine - and in the present of course! - what might you prioritize and what might you relinquish? Work for work’s sake or work for life’s sake?
