From the Practice:

Imagine you in that spaceship, looking out, looking back and seeing this magnificent image that no human on the planet had ever seen. You are seeing something no one has ever seen before. Wow. Just breathe that in, the magnitude of this moment.

… now you have a sense of the entire Earth in this future where the entire Earth is beautiful and healed. It’s all been rectified by the work of so many humans, including yourself, humans that have showed up before it was too late… And you are one of them.

If we can’t see it, we can’t do it. We have to be able to see it.

Our friend the tree may teach us much more than rootedness: what steadies also sways, and what bursts ripe with fruit and flowers moves not an inch. Adam Lobel offers a dynamic teaching well-timed for our political moment.

Earth is as beautiful as she is troubled, as perfect as she is pained. Joanna Macy appeals to the courageous self in all of us that desires to widely awaken to Earth just as she is and act from this seeing: we are inseparable.
