Developing mindfulness is the key to focusing on what is going on at the present moment and finding what pleasure there may be in that moment rather than mentally seeking to be elsewhere.
The present moment really focused on, is immensely richer and more full of life and joy than we usually suppose.

Heal Yourself, Heal the EarthWe hear news about the Amazon fires, the 6th Mass Extinction, and the so-called 'climate crisis' and it can all feel overwhelming.

Healing the EarthWe can then look at society as a whole and contemplate on what has caused us to be in the situation we find ourselves in.

Dear 16-year-old TeenagerI’d like to give you some hope for the future. The climate crisis is possibly the best thing that could have happened to humans. It’s a wake-up call.

After over four decades of climate talks, we're still in a mess. Why?Imagine, if you will, an alcoholic. In my years nursing, I know that if you explain to an alcoholic that drinking harms his health, relationships, and financial stability, that the vision of a dismal future will not scare him into quitting.

You can nag them all you like about the damage they are inflicting on themselves, and maybe they will cut down for a few weeks or will promise to cut down with genuinely good intentions, but nothing will really change. In most cases, the level of their habit will remain the same or even get worse.
