Member-only story
Pushing myself beyond limits in 2023. And encouraging you to do the same.
To many, I may seem to be an unrealistic but affable soul. A dreamer who’s doomed to be disappointed in the world, and in my ability (and OUR ability) to change things for the better. I’m actually NOT that much of a dreamer. I realize that change is hard and that many forces are lined up to preserve the status quo — the very forces that are not only making our lives unnecessarily difficult, but that are speeding our entire species towards climate doom.
I’m NOT a doomer either, even though I see the dangers and realize that these dangers are continuing unabated. I’m not a doomer because I’m committed to changing the world, not simply predicting what will happen based on current trends.
I know exactly where current trends are leading us. I simply refuse to go.
Protesting In the Back Row
I’ve attended many protests, usually with a hand made sign. That’s usually me, away from the crowd, near the back trying to get a look at the speaker, and straining to hear. I’m cheering and clapping and then walking home quietly, alone, lost in my thoughts.
That is, in large part, who I am.
