Deep Response

You can't look away. You see the climate destabilization, biodiversity loss, resource scarcity, toxic bioaccumulation, and climate injustice happening all around us. You aren't the type to bury your head in the sand or shrug it off and so you roll up your sleeves. But where to start? How to ensure your work doesn't inadvertently cause harm, a pattern as old as good intentions? How to ensure your efforts actually matter? You aren't interested in repair work on the post-iceberg Titanic.I threw myself at these questions for over a decade. I thrashed and hammered at the problem of building a life relevant to the challenges of the 21st century and, mostly, got nowhere. Those were years of intense effort with nothing to show for it. My despair grew year by year.Then, in a quiet moment late at night in early 2020, I found the foot of the path I'd been looking for in a place I never would have expected. What I learned would change the course of my life forever.
