"This is a dark time, filled with suffering and uncertainty. Like living cells in a larger body, it is natural we feel the trauma of our world. So dont be afraid of the anguish you feel, or the anger or fear, because these responses arise from the depth of your caring and truth of your interconnectedness with all beings" — Joanna Macy
