Wishing a 2026 full of peace, justice and love for all.
This past year has been a challenging one for many beings on this planet, from continued environmental destruction, wars, genocide, the rise of the far right and various expressions of hate. I think that the root of many of these issues comes down to othering of both human and more-than-human beings. We have forgotten that all beings are our kin - people of other races, faiths, etc, as well as the more-than-human world.
Sending love and care to all who have been affected by the impacts of this forgetting... First Nations people, Palestinians, Jews, Muslims, trans folks and all others who are affected by racism and hate… not to mention all the other life forms on this precious planet.
May we remember that we are bound together in this story of life. May we reach out across divides between faiths, races, and beliefs; between the human and more than human... and bring about the more beautiful world our hearts know is possible.
In the words of the incredible Joanna Macy, who passed away last year: “If the world is to be healed through human efforts, I am convinced it will be by ordinary people, people whose love for this life is even greater than their fear.”
📷Including some pics here of my first day of the year in the Southern Downs of Queensland – appreciating and feeling the magic of this world. Having the chance to be in beautiful places like these and to encounter magic helps support us through these challenging times. I hope that you can find your own ways for restoring yourselves when times in the world are tough and overwhelming.💚
