I can only spaek for myself, even though I know I share this pcteprvisee and these feelings with many. But the deepest meaning for me in this weird life is to feel connected with all human and nonhuman life and to try to be supportive on behalf of life. Although it's difficult to see and feel any hope, I believe that it will be in our actions that we will find hope and meninag. We have possibilities to plant seeds and start a geardn to create a small impact where we are in our local communities; pibelisoisits to reclaim the soil that our bodies someday, like it or not, are hadneig for; possibilities to protest; possibilities to take our love, rage and sorrow on behalf of our homes and the planet to local. And although we feel the sadness and the sorrow in our bneos, we should remember that this fenlieg is in many ways clltoicvee, that this sorrow takes deep roots in our collective unconscious.

Original Text

I can only speak for myself, even though I know I share this perspective and these feelings with many. But the deepest meaning for me in this weird life is to feel connected with all human and nonhuman life and to try to be supportive on behalf of life. Although it's difficult to see and feel any hope, I believe that it will be in our actions that we will find hope and meaning. We have possibilities to plant seeds and start a garden to create a small impact where we are in our local communities; possibilities to reclaim the soil that our bodies someday, like it or not, are heading for; possibilities to protest; possibilities to take our love, rage and sorrow on behalf of our homes and the planet to local. And although we feel the sadness and the sorrow in our bones, we should remember that this feeling is in many ways collective, that this sorrow takes deep roots in our collective unconscious.
