In the changing tides of the world, I invite you to find refuge in wisdom of this video, reminding us of the strength of our human spirit, that no matter how dire the circumstances may be, we always have the opportunity to choose love and transform our pain into a compassionate power that can heal the world.
In a way, what we're seeing today is really a symptom of our shared humanity. Here we are in the 21st century, living in late-stage capitalism, where extremes of wealth and poverty have become more pronounced, and exploitation is rampant. We're at a moment that Joanna Macy calls "The Great Turning"—a great opportunity for us to reset our lives as human beings.
In this catalytic moment, I want to offer you a gentle reminder: the inner garden of the heart shapes the outer landscape of our lives and of our world. In this wonderful video clip, Tending Our World, I explore how presence, compassion, and joy can become radical acts of service.
