we're all moving into a world where we need to adapt, in ways we can't imagine right now. adapt to a new world and a changing climate. like the cuckoos moving north and the midges moving south. adapt our lifestyles to slow that change. adapt our borders. adapt our thinking about why we choose to have borders. adapt to a new life. adapt to a way of living it. adapt to survive"

i clearly need to spend some time in nature. as I was reading this, I kept getting intense waves of what I can only describe as grief - if I interrogate this feeling it seems to be a mixture of climate anxiety, feeling disconnected from the natural world & a longing for the time+energy+funds to go on more trips out into the landscape. the fact the planet is a paradise we've destroyed is too painful for words, but I can still do more to combat this by spending more time in nature & doing more to protect the earth.
