What Global Movements are Showing Us

Social and environmental justice movements right now are showing us the power of our collective voices and actions. These issues are deeply important, and while there is different gravity to various causes, there might be some parallels too. White people are becoming more aware of their privilege, of white supremacy, of how they can be *actively* …

Climate Reality: The Training and the Takeaways

Vicky, to my right, was in her 70s and has been an environmental advocate for over forty years.

My Favorite Tree

This tree is my favorite in the world. In 2002 I attended a Hog Island Youth Ecology Camp for 10 days. Towards the end of our camp, the instructors asked us to go for a walk along the east shore trail, find a place where we could sit quietly, and then journal our thoughts about …

An ode to nature on this #WorldEnvironmentDay 🌎🌍🌏 Kicked off the summer season the same way we have (almost) every year for the last six years: off grid and in a tent. 🏕️ Touching an elephant was an experience I’ll never forget. Her skin was soft and crinkly with prickly peach fuzz all over. She was kind enough to tolerate me conducting a health check on her as part of her weekly care at the Elephant Valley Project in Cambodia. I volunteered there for a week deep in the jungle and it was one of the coolest experiences of my life. Forages for mushrooms once, makes a Reel about it. Elsewhere is everywhere I haven’t been “In the city we go through the motions with our watered-down lives. But here, here you really live each and every day.” Good people are everywhere. Sometimes we find them and hold on to them, sometimes they pass through our lives fleetingly.

I could relate to their love of the cold and I respected their equally cool demeanor. Happy International Day of Forests 🌲 Have you ever just enjoyed a tree? Some of my best naps have been under the shade of a tree. I’ve climbed more than I can count, and I’ll never forget how the branches of the Japanese Maple outside of my childhood home felt. I’ve marveled at trees that are thousands of years old, and I’ve thanked countless others for their wisdom.
