I love the shift ;) And reading through this made me realize that I’ve been fire fighting for a while now and perhaps have been failing to see the bigger landscape - e.g. what will we need when this specific fire is over? How will the terrain be different? What will those that survive need to know/do/be when that time comes in order to grow new things? Thank you, as always, for your insight and leadership
Diane - thank you so much for this comment. I totally appreciated getting it when you wrote it and meant to respond that day! There is so much focus right now on the immediate fires, as you say, and I often feel pressured to put the focus there. But what our work here can bring to the table I think is going to be more stuff like this... on getting through.
I am grateful that this work is helpful. I'll be interested to see what we grow here. -Vanessa
