Solutions to our current crisis appear beyond rational appeals for help. Somehow in all of this complexity and loss and seeming hopelessness, a response is asked from us, and in this response lies the seeds of our own rootedness.
Rachel Carson’s friend asked her why she felt called to write her ‘poisons book’ – the now classic Silent Spring. Rachel responded that she felt called by the dead birds she held in her hands. She could not live, knowing what she had learned about DDT, without speaking, without – her gift – lifting her pen to write.

I always feel sad when I see a dead bird and will often find a final resting place.
