Reading this thread made me cry. It's so much to take in what's happening to this precious planet. I didn't cry until I got to these Leonard Cohen lines: "We are so small between the stars, so large against the sky, And lost among the subway crowds I try to catch your eye."https://twitter.com/JKSteinberger/status/1073162770286292993 …

I don't know how it is for others, but I've turned to poetry more than I ever have since grabbling with the climate emergency. It almost requires poetry. These Mary Oliver poems are so important... The Summer Day Moments Wild Geese The Journey

@bethsawin piece explores what it means to love the world as we grapple with the climate emergency, and helps explain why Mary Oliver's poetry has been indispensable for me. Oliver's poems help us *notice* the world, and therefor, love it more deeply.https://twitter.com/bethsawin/status/1129007402324512768 …Emily Cunningham added,
Dr. Elizabeth Sawin @bethsawinIs climate changing awakening our love for the world? If it is, how do you put that feeling into words? What I learned from some of you, after asking these questions on Twitter. https://www.elizabethsawin.net/2019/05/16/in-the-face-of-climate-change-learning-a-new-language-of-love-for-world/ …1 reply 0 retweets 0 likesShow this thread
"'Attention is the beginning of devotion.' And, of course, this is so. The unnoticed can’t possibly be loved."
"A world worthy of attachment exists outside ourselves, and the alternative is numbness and narcissism."
