In the chaos of the world—in our own small roles—we can manifest peace to others in our everyday lives. We can be available. When we hear the cry, we can be the ones who respond.
For us, living with the effects of climate change now, in this very moment, we find ourselves faced with our own global cannonball moment—a moment of agony and opportunity.
