I’ve spoken with a lot of people who are feeling an enormous amount of despair right now ... people who look around at the world and doubt humanity’s inherent goodness, who doubt whether or not we have what it takes to turn this ship around and create a world that truly works for everyone – a world that honors all living beings on the planet. I’ve felt this myself some days, where the despair about the pain that exists on the planet right now is just so overwhelming I don’t know what to do with it. I have felt small and helpless. I have looked at my babies and cried about the world they might inherit. I have wondered what kind of future is truly possible.
And always, ALWAYS I choose to bring myself back to what I know in my bones to be true:
That we are deeply, inherently good.
That we can create a peaceful, sustainable planet that honors Life.
That we have what it takes because we are designed to do this.
