This week on the blog (read at NEWS at the link in our bio!), we’re cheering for all the young people making noise for their birthright: a livable and sustainable planet. Can any one of us make it happen? Nope. No way. But together, the mindset shifts and heart shifts are tectonic:⁣
⁣
"We don’t need audacious goals or audacious results. We just need new habits, new expectations, and a new consciousness. And, perhaps, a little of the unvarnished and unspoilt optimism of kids — call if naiveté if you must, but there’s no more infectious and wonderful energy in the world. It takes us places, and it’s cumulative."⁣

Today, Tuesday Ryan-Hart checks in after a 'necessary pause,' reflecting on the goodness of restoring the self in change work and life. Read the post at NEWS (link in bio!): "We find the soil, sunshine, and rain within each of us, on our own, before linking arms again to take action together. It is beautiful — almost magical — how we each go inside to gear up, studying the cultivation of how we might each bring our best action back to the table.

New on the blog (NEWS via link in bio!): Tim reflects on how we rally together on our most difficult days.⁣
⁣
"We are still tallying up the damage wreaked by Hurricane Dorian—’we’ being everyone in the Eastern Seaboard, from the devastated Bahamas to Florida, the Carolinas, and Nova Scotia. An image from the streets of Halifax, shared by The Chronicle-Herald, stood out. The wind so strong it pulled up an old stalwart by its roots, and the sidewalk with it, too. The crash it must have made when it came down!⁣
⁣
Frederick Douglass articulated it best: at The Outside, one of our essential tenets is in the value of great big crashes (and what comes after). They’re inevitable in weather as much as in systems change work.⁣
⁣
No day we spend together — as long as we're trying our best — is misspent. Even when something has been irrevocably blown down by the conditions around us. The more important thing is not what has been lost, but how we rally in the chaos to come together and create something new..."⁣
