Consider this quote:
“It is not enough to weep for our lost landscapes; we have to put our hands in the earth to make ourselves whole again. Even a wounded world is feeding us. Even a wounded world holds us, giving us moments of wonder and joy. I choose joy over despair. Not because I have my head in the sand, but because joy is what the earth gives me daily and I must return the gift.” – (Robin Wall Kimmerer, Braiding Sweetgrass)
Then, look ahead at future opportunities to volunteer, and sign up for a work party! Or, consider another way you can “put your hands in the earth.”
