Everything that can be saved, should be saved.
Every act of kindness matters. Every goddamn one.
We cannot, alone, fix everything. But we can, together, fix something. Help someone. (If YOU need help, ask.)
It matters. I know things feel impossible. Overwhelming.
Do one thing. Extend one hand.

I wish I could tell you
everything will be OK,
that the world isn’t on fire,
that love can fix
all the broken things—
but only one
of those things is true,
only love
(fierce and soft
& full of fury)
can salve,
can salvage,
can mourn,
can bear witness—
here, we hold each other,
how we get through.

In crimson, orange and bronze, autumn had arrived.
Fox had spent a rather enjoyable morning searching for the perfect collection of leaves.
She'd finally found it.
With a joyful soul and playful heart, she jumped.
In one fine leap, she pounced to catch her shadow.

My publisher’s been very patient. I’m not doing everything I said I’d do to promote this book (out in a few weeks) because I’m an organizer in a city under federal attack. My days are full and emotionally exhausting. Any help getting the word out means a lot. It's a book people need right now.

Do not underestimate the soft spoken, the kind, the gentle. It takes strength to be those things, sometimes more than you will ever know. If you look closely at someone who conducts themselves honorably, you will find something fierce inside.

I wanted to get a video of this ghost crab but every time I got close to their hole they scuttled back in, so I tried getting clever with it. I made a little sandcastle and shoved my phone into it, hit record, and walked away. Crab was VERY suspicious of this addition to their environment.
