OK, here’s the idea. We’re in a crisis so deep, so knotted, so unprecedented, and so urgent that, well, we have to change everything, pretty much. Or else.
And there’s no one to do it for us. There’s just us. Just-us. Justice.
And who are we? We are everyone, everywhere, who wants to do this. Everyone, everywhere, who cares what happens to everything–each other, humanity, Mother Earth, nature, the planet, the future creatures for whom what we do this day–this year–will make a difference. Possibly all the difference.
And what do we have to do? To repeat: we have to change most of the systems in which we live, whether we are in comfort or not, whether we have other preoccupations or not, whether we are happy or not, whether we have enough time, money, resources, or not. And we have to be radical.
And why do we have to do this? Let each of us answer for ourself. Because in the end, we will have to answer for ourselves. For what we did this coming year, and what we didn’t.
OK, enough of the solemn words and grandiose tone. What am I really trying to talk about here?
