Dark Times Require Deep Imagination

This post by @cleowade simultaneously validated the heaviness underlying current events, while also sparking hope and empowerment in my heart.

If you’ve been feeling like things are just extra difficult or heavy right now, please be gentle with yourself and each other. Rest, love, and ignite the imagination deep within you.

I’m heading off for a week on the river tomorrow and will be back to phone and email after July 7th.

Once again, thank you from my heart and soul for your support, great senses of humor, brilliant minds, collaboration and what you're each doing to make the world a better place.

Cheers,

Global Council for Science and the Environment: Attending a 4-day, virtual, global conference for GCSE. Many organizations talk about how to be inclusive, equitable, and just. GCSE is walking the talk – the speakers included Indigenous peoples, Black and Brown people, women, and people representing the global south and north. I am immensely proud to get to support this organization!
