Remain in light.
Around me the trees stir in their leaves
and call out, “Stay awhile.”
The light flows from their branches.
And they call again, “It’s simple,” they say,
“and you too have come
into the world to do this, to go easy, to be filled
with light, and to shine.”

There are places yet…
Where #bees and #nature thrive.
Where all creatures are protected.
Safe.
Where all life is valued.
All life.
Where #birds sing loud in #trees that will never be felled.
Where the #soil is not poisoned and the #water flows clean.
Where #truth matters.

To be a person of no consequence, to speak without power, is a bewilderingly awful condition, as though you were a ghost, a beast, as though words died in your mouth, as though sound no longer traveled. It is almost worse to say something and have it not matter than to be silent.

Over the past several months, Congress has abused an arcane law called the Congressional Review Act (CRA) to strip protections from millions of acres of America’s public lands.

The animals are painted in watercolours.
The gold is Schmincke Aqua Bronze. This can be tricky to work with but really elevates everything.

If you write primarily about nature and environmental issues, it can be hard to see the value of your work during times like these. I wrote about this a bit in my introduction to @biographic.bsky.social's weekly newsletter.
