RE: Am I harvesting wood sustainably or will I eventually run out?
Very thoughtful post. Most don't put that much of their heart into caring for the land or the other beings that share our space. If I think about it too much it can be overwhelming emotionally. I am not in denial about it, but it is hard watch. So many are displaced now because of it.
I think that is a huge problem. The amount of violence to each other, trees, plants, animals, pollution, etc it can all be overwhelming. People literally shut down and curl up in a ball when they look at it all. That is why I work so hard to do what we can here as I recognize that I cannot save the whole planet, but I sure as hell can do my part to save my little corner of it and confront people who put it or other corners at risk.
@wwf I think for some people the pain is overwhelming and they have chosen to sleep this one out. Those that have chosen to face it, and be aware, every little thing they contribute is significant to the whole.
I agree. For many years I tried to sleep it out, but it continued to build and build until the pain came oozing out. Then I had to confront it or it would have killed me. My concern is that they will face that choice too. Their path, their journey. I cannot do that any longer. I must speak up as I recognize and know the power and healing involved in doing that. I am grateful that I stand beside others like yourself. <3
