However, all living beings eventually reach stasis. Nothing grows forever. Why? Because to do so would have a terrible impact on a local ecosystem which is finite. CO2 in the atmosphere may be the symptom, and burning fossil fuels the reason, but growing a global human economy with a vast energy surplus by transforming every material in sight on a finite planet is the cause of the crisis.

Nature isn’t something we go visit, and it’s not something we can leave behind, either. It is us, we are it. We are primates. We have a relationship of reciprocity and care and dependence. We always have the option to feel into our gratitude more deeply. Children have an innate biophilia, or resonance with nature, that can help guide them.
Instead of hoping to live with no impact on nature at all, an impossible hope, can we replace that with concern about being awake to our whole impact, and making a positive contribution as well?
