"I spoke the truth with my body, and I am still speaking it..." yes! And thank you for this short & sweet practice of working with the parts re: climate change. I am going to try it. Getting in touch with our thoughts and feelings about the climate emergency seems to be so important before moving into any action. And you give us a template for that.
Ooh I hope you get on okay with the practice. It's ongoing work, isn't it? (for me anyway). I find that getting in touch with feelings leads to a little action, which leads to more feelings, which leads to more action etc....... Thanks for being here Jeanne x
It was hard this week to see the Climate Summit take bows for simply saying we need to move away from fossil fuel. Crafting an agreement which has no plans about what they need to do, when they need to do it and no legal consequences for failure to abide by the agreement. The bows and handshakes felt hollow and insincere. I felt angry that politicians assume we are so simply manipulated. When I worry about global warming, human rights and war I reread the closing lines from the movie Ghandi and I do my best to follow his advice.
“When I despair I remember that all through history the way of truth and love has always won. There have been tyrants and murders and for a time they seem invincible but in the end they always fall. Think of it always whenever you are in doubt that this is God’s way, the way the world was meant to be. Think on that and try to do it his way .” Mahatma Ghandi
OH yes. The whole thing was doomed from the start in many ways - and next year it's being held in another oil state...... I think anger is appropriate. And we need to remember the words of those who light the way, like Ghandi, King etc, more than ever. I hear you Kim x
