Rilke on the Relationship Between Solitude, Love, Sex, and Creativity

This names a quiet kind of resistance.
When a political economy depends on manufactured insufficiency, taking stock of what’s already present becomes a way of loosening its hold. Not to deny difficulty — but to stop feeding the reflexes that keep us running.
Unlearning often begins by noticing what we’ve been taught to overlook.

"The Shambhala Warrior Prophecy" • Joanna Macy
https://oneearthsangha.org/articles/the-shambala-warrior-prophecy/
> «There comes a time when all life on Earth is in danger. In that time great powers have arisen. Barbarian powers as they’re called. And although they waste their wealth in preparations to annihilate each other, they have much in common. And among the things they have in common are weapons of unfathomable, destructive power and technologies that lay waste to the world. It is just at this point, when the future of all beings hangs by the frailest of threads, that the kingdom of Shambhala emerges.
> Now, you can’t go there, because it’s not a place. It exists in the hearts and minds of the Shambhala warriors. And you can’t tell whether someone is a Shambhala warrior just by looking at them because they wear no uniform or insignia. They have no banners to show which side they’re on, no barricades on which to climb to threaten the enemy or behind which they can rest and regroup. The Shambhala warriors don’t have any home turf. There is only the terrain of the barbarian powers for them to move on, regroup, and use.»

2025 #NuclearFreeFuture Award laureates announced
January 14, 2025
"The 2025 Nuclear-Free Future Awards will this year honor individuals from #Brazil, #India, #Navajo country, the United States and #Zimbabwe for their achievements in working for a #NuclearFree world.
"The Award laureates are chosen by an international jury of their peers and are offered in three categories: #Resistance, Education and Solution. The 2025 laureates are: #SPUdayakumar (India) for Resistance; #MárciaGomesDeOliveira and #NorbertSuchanek (Brazil) for Education; and #EdwickMadzimure (Zimbabwe) for Solution.
"Honorary Lifetime Achievement awards will be given to teacher, author and #AntiNuclear activist, #JoannaMacy, and posthumously to #NativeAmericanActivist and musician, #KleeBenally.
"The Nuclear-Free Future Awards will be held on Tuesday, March 4, 2025 at The Great Hall at Cooper Union in New York City (7 E 7th St. NY NY.) A reception at 6pm will be followed by the awards ceremony starting at 7pm. Both events are free admission and open to the public. Media are welcome.
"The Nuclear-Free Future Awards were founded by German journalist, filmmaker and activist, Claus Biegert, in 1998 and were first held in Salzburg, Austria. Since then, the Awards have traveled the world, honoring the largely unsung heroes of the Nuclear Age who work to end uranium mining and rid the world of nuclear weapons, nuclear power and uranium munitions.
"The event is a co-presentation of #BeyondNuclear and International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War, Germany, an affiliate of the 1985 Nobel Peace Prize-winning organization #IPPNW.
"The 2025 Awards event takes place during the Third Meeting of States Parties to the Treaty on the Prohibition of #NuclearWeapons March 3-7 at the United Nations."

2/2 continuation of quote
"It (the earth) is our larger body. We breathe it. We taste it. We are it, and it is time now that we venerate that incredible flowering of life that takes every aspect of our physicality."
--Joanna Macy in Becoming Wise: An Inquiry into the Mystery and Art of Living by Krista Tippett

Imagine if we came together as a world, start where you are, and found a way to deal with climate change, together.
We don’t have to agree on the root of the problem, just that the problem is, and only together, as one, can we thrive.
After all, we all want to thrive, no?

If there’s interest, I’ll offer a free on going Zoom group to explore the book and work with #ClimateDespair (I’m American on the east coast but I’ll be sensitive to time zones).
This will not be a (small) group to debate #ClimateChange but rather how to be a okay and PRACTICE active hope, despite the despairing circumstances, in the context that climate change is real & humanity IS in part creating this mess.
