so to continue the mood as I putter through Sunday tasks I dug into the conversation with @carolinelucas.bsky.social @boldpolitics.bsky.social. She speaks so beautifully. But also told this story: www.ludwig-van.com/toronto/2022... #ActiveHope = holding sadness & joy, courage & vulnerability
If you read one thing today - try this @rebeccasolnit.bsky.social on why we need to stop looking for solo superheroes to save us - and look towards collective communities and the transformative power they hold www.nytimes.com/2026/03/07/m... #giftarticle #climate #environment #activeHope

The thing that has lifted me up this week, is MARCH - Multifaith Anti-racist Change and Healing - the hundreds of Rabbis, Pastors, Buddhist teachers of all schools, and others going to Minnesota to 'Do Justice. Love Kindness. Stop ICE.' www.lionsroar.com/buddhists-to... #HopeinAction #ActiveHope
“In The Meantime”
Meanwhile, flowers still bloom.
The moon rises, and the sun….
…And, while death claims all things at the end,
There were such precious times between,
In which everything was radiant
And we loved, again, this world.
- Tom Hirons

But wait! For this to happen someone somewhere has to believe it possible and actually try? Otherwise it's the same old, acceptance ideology of MAD. #green #activehope
A messenger of #hope
David Lorimer pays tribute to Dr. Jane Goodall, a woman who inspired millions of people around the world to care for our precious planet Earth. "She urges us not to lose hope, but rather to think about the actions we can take every day."

Honoured to guest speak at #AlterCOP30 Australia.
These people aren’t passive spectators. They’re organisers, volunteers, and community leaders living active hope in the climate crisis.
My reflection.👇🏽

“To Know the Dark”
“To go in the dark with a light is to know the light.
To know the dark, go dark. Go without sight,
and find that the dark, too, blooms and sings,
and is traveled by dark feet and dark wings.”
— Wendell Berry #darkness #light #activehope
“When I started to fume,
God grabbed me in his arms
impossibly strong and tender
and said, dear one,
don’t build our house too small
and I dropped my hammer
and nails and noticed
how fine the breeze
without walls.”
- Rosemerry Wahtola Trommer

So let us embrace the art of supporting each other,
finding beauty in the imperfect,
for in the heart of this dance,
we discover our truest selves,
shining brightly as we rise,
together.
