Waves from pebbles. We *can* do that. I like putting a word in *stars*. :)
I just went back to the Gen Dread archive to comment on Kate Schapira’s fabulous book – to Kate – before our CC meeting here for July.
I ‘met’ you a year ago ID:
“We don’t need to be hopeful or hopeless, we just need to be. We will do things out of love, and we will do things out of fear, but as long as with each step we take we slowly weave a new world, then that might just be enough.”
I was travelling for work and made a conscious decision that day to stop being resolved to thinking 'ya’ll will fix it'. I was considering bowing out. Maybe my first real ‘bout of overwhelm’. I also got written approval to present Britt’s work – the work quoted in your Gen Dread post – that summer. Remarkable for me to reflect on.
It’s so hard to move the needle. I know now we can move it together. And we are, collectively. I know you now. You chase tears <see pen dancing across page here> away. Thank you.
PS You’re in the ‘most popular’ bar on Gen Dread. <3
I love this concept! Being a mom, I can't always be the grand activist I wish I could be, but there are certainly things that are mine to do in being a parent that also help the planet.

PPS Back to work!
Wow!!! Can't believe that was a year ago. We can move the needle! :)

I'm glad you found it helpful! Yes you do what *you* can do.
