A warm welcome into the world of Creation Care - with David Suzuki!

Last weekend while I was digging composted wood chips and spreading them around my apple trees, baby spruce trees and other tree babies I started listening to Season One of David Suzuki's new podcast.

There are 5 episodes and their themes are Fire, Air, Water, Earth and Spirit.  It was like sitting down with an old and very kind friend to receive a warm welcome into the world of creation care.  Definitely worth the listen!

This is from the David Suzuki Foundation podcast introduction:

"COVID-19 has uprooted our lives, causing devastation for millions. It’s also forced us to slow down, pause and consider how we might learn to live healthily and sustainably on this planet.

Let’s use this time to rediscover some fundamental truths about our place on Earth: fire, air, water, earth, spirit — the basic elements of life. Without them, there is no life. When our relationships with them are unbalanced, we put our very existence at risk." 

If you are standing at the threshold and wondering if "climate work" really is for you this podcast will broaden your understanding of the work ahead of us, and maybe it will lend clarity to your question of "what is mine to do?"  The work is as varied as we are and there is a niche for everyone.  

So if you have some time walking, gardening, driving, cooking - get these podcasts going and give yourself a week or two to digest them.  

 Maybe it will help you to discover your next small step, taken with hope.

Perfect vs. Good

As I contemplate taking climate action (as a lukewarm activist with good intentions) I often feel stuck because I know I can't do any of it perfectly. Apparently I'm not the first to feel this way, and was relieved to hear that it's actually a common saying or phrase; Don't let perfection be the enemy of the good. I'm relieved when I hear this because it feels like I have permission to take small steps and to encourage others along the way, even if I'm not doing it perfectly myself. I've spent plenty of years hearing a voice in my head tell me that if I'm not all-in committed and willing to change everything in my life, it's not worth doing anything at all. But that's not true. It's still worth doing something. In fact, how will I ever gain the strength and stamina and courage to do big things if I don't start with small things? And how can I start from anywhere but exactly where I am? So here I am, imperfect in many ways, but fu...

Advocacy? Time to learn!

100 years ago when I was in university there was a letter-writing party for Amnesty International .  I heard about it happening on campus and thought about going, but in the end I didn't attend.  I didn't write those letters regarding political prisoners and refugees stuck in dangerous places and human rights abuses.  I was busy growing up and thinking about me.  And probably exams, boys and other things.  I'm not going to be too hard on myself here, but as I think back, I wish I had written.  I wish I'd begun to learn about advocacy back when I was 19, rather than starting to think about it now, in my 40's.   But here I am! Taking a deep breath and thinking it's time to learn how to speak for the trees (that's a Lorax reference, in case you're wondering.) There are a few reasons why this has come to the fore for me, but the biggest one is the realisation that although it's important for me to clean up my personal act around climate, it's equal...

Do we have a shared goal?

Usually when people join forces there's a specific goal that they all share.  I've been thinking about this in terms of how I approach Climate Change and the Climate Emergency. What actually is  our goal?  Is it to: Save the Earth?  Mitigate the worst effects of Climate change? Reduce our personal footprint? Prepare to meet the humanitarian crises brought on by climate change? Lobby governments and big business? Support protesters in specific locations?  There is such a huge range of work to be done.  Like any huge project, we need people working on many different levels and at many different tasks. This brings me back to the idea of honouring and empowering every individual to use their passions, gifts and skills. Each of us can and must apply ourselves in the way that we are moved to do so.  I need to find a way to lift my own wings to the wind - a way to use my gifts and passions to uplift the cause. None of us can do it all.  Let us commit to ...
