Thank you, Christyl, for your heartfelt reflection on our collective plight. My short take on our predicament is that collectively we’re doomed to catastrophic global collapse, whether precipitous or incremental—but individually, we still have options for adapting to it. The best option in my view is to grow gardens, grow community, and grow awareness—by cultivating a shared ethos of learning, teaching, healing, and creating. (I’ve already posted numerous articles on
Medium exploring the implications of this viewpoint; I’d be honored if you read one or more of them, and leave me a comment!)
