"During times of radical change, how do we hold both the magnificence and tragedy of the world?" --Geneen Marie Haugen
Wild Faith
"Sometimes the nearly unbearable beauty of the world overwhelms me. I tremble with a felt-sense that the magnificence that saturates the cosmos surely reflects the possibility, even now, of human magnificence. And then, as if I've crossed an invisible bridge to a waypoint of despair, I wonder how the mysterious, self-organizing wild Earth can peacefully co-exist with the absurdities and catastrophes of human invention. How do we hold both the magnificence and tragedy of the world, as if we stand at a threshold with Janus, the Roman god of beginnings and endings, looking in two directions?" Author Geneen Marie Haugen shares more in this essay.
BE THE CHANGE
Consider an action or a practice you can initiate that honors the magnificence of our world and offers an antidote to its tragedies.
