Every symptom in our culture can be traced back to our inability to grieve well.
Grief is not a feeling but a skill - the skill that allows us to love fully in the face of loss.
Grief is praise. It is the way the heart acknowledges the beauty of what we have lost.
One of the penalties of an ecological education is that one lives alone in a world of wounds.
The Earth is grieving, and our grief for the Earth is one way we can be in relationship with her pain.
We live in a grief-illiterate culture, and this illiteracy is killing us and the planet.
“The sorrow, grief, and rage you feel is a measure of your humanity and your evolutionary maturity…” – Joanna Macy Source: Greening of the Self (2013)
“The more we open our hearts to the pain of the world, the more we are able to act effectively.” – Joanna Macy Source: The Work That Reconnects, 1998
