Now I need to go pick up a book of poems by Rilke and recite them to myself each night! What a powerful antidote to fear and despair. Thank you, Joanna! ♥
I’m reading Sandra Ingerman’s “Medicine for the Earth”, & feel this most helpful in getting started on the “transmuting of personal & environmental toxins”! Thank you🙏❤️🌎
Deep deep wisdom here. Thank you. And I was nodding my head to my heart over and over agreeing until “right wing politicians” and my heart sunk a little. I used to be an outspoken left supporter but I am now (contentedly) politically homeless. Because I realized: different wing. Same bird.
Haley, I like "different wing, same bird" and certainly Joanna Macy understands the non-separation you are referring to - the Oneness the mystics and physicists have tried to describe to us. But it's a fact that the behavior of the right wing politicians (including some democrats) is a stumbling block to meaningful legislation on the climate crisis, just to name ONE issue - which is the Mother of all issues. So, yes - "same bird" but I think it's true to say that the bird's right wing is broken these days and is impeding meaningful (and very necessary) flight. I pray that will change.

Mother Earth gave us all birth/ Yet we measure Her by Her wealth and girth/ Our shared Mother loves us all/ She is the blanket of stars that covers us all/ The Divine Mother is manifest in the environment/ It seems natural we protect Her as our superordinate assignment/ God is neither far away or hard to hear/ Listen to Her gentle voice stir the leaves/ Feel Her touch cooly caress your ear/ Know Her more than you believe. art.
this is going to be very interesting (way better than a hollytrash movie)... of how the millions of shopping zombies of the global north will embrace a spiritual path (whatever that amounts to) in the face of near term extinction and a massive decline in resources. The crowd here in the comments, as usual idol worshiping to no end... DUH!
We are alive now. This party of life and civilization was already going on when we arrived. Nevertheless, let’s heed Joanna’s call. What opportunity and possibility will we be? What can we learn from Buddha’s dharma teaching? We have been given a life, now. What is worth DOING?
Not so sophisticated feeling It’s the acceptance. see with your eyes ,your ears ,your nose. Massive trauma =the greed in this world. Ride your big wheel ,help others , unite as one!
There is NO logical reason why we, as a species, should succumb to the "lesser angels" of our human nature instead of our better ones. The fact that we have chosen the baser of our options is beyond adequate words. It will be the profoundest conundrum that I carry to my grave.
Frank what tone are you writing in here? I can't tell what your mood or purpose is here. Please say more, and what your prime emotion/s are in commenting. Thanks
Extraordinary leader in our time
No. You're just gullible.

Oh and I see now this was recorded in 2014. Much has changed among us since then.

Joanna is a godsend. What wonderful words come from her.

THANK YOU JOANNA
merci, c'est une véritable trans-mission ! précisement précieuse, fleuve de larme étincelante, ode aux transmuttations complémentaires
Merci d'avoir commenté. Veuillez diffuser largement le lien vers l’interview.
We are alive now. This party of life and civilization was already going on when we arrived.
Nevertheless, let’s heed Joanna’s call.
What opportunity and possibility will we be?
What can we learn from Buddha’s dharma teaching?
We have been given a life, now. What is worth DOING?
Not so sophisticated feeling
It’s the acceptance. see with your eyes ,your ears ,your nose. Massive trauma =the greed in this world.
Ride your big wheel ,help others
, unite as one!
Books will always lead the way!
When people start gathering them up for fire. They want to halt the forwardness of all.
🌈🙏🏾🤍 let life through- gratitude, grace and abundance with god/earth

Amen!
Wow
❤️🙏🏾
God sovereignty substantive choice
Beyond outrage, fear and all spiritual fancy, the black truth. The black black truth. We will die in violent ignorant pain, empty and hopeless.
