Hope & Grief

Photo by Chantal Bilodeau

How do we hold hope and grief together?

How do we acknowledge the incredible losses – of species, of communities, of habitats – and continue to believe that a just and regenerative future is possible?

How do we become friends with complexity and uncertainty?

How do we bring our whole selves to the climate conversation: not just what we think and what we do, but what we feel and who we are?

How do we find poetry – both the poetry of this moment and the poetry of tomorrow?

How do we love deeply, strongly, powerfully, knowing it will hurt?
