Loving the Earth: A new traditional value

October 16, 2020

Transcript I’m listening hard these days to voices that have a lot to say about the Earth crises we’re in. Voices that are sharing a wealth of ideas about where to go from here. Many of those voices belong to Indigenous people and young people. And what I hear from all of them sounds something…  Read More…

Reimagining community

October 2, 2020

Transcript So this coronavirus is a great demystifier. It’s pulling aside the curtain on fractures in our society, the weak places that keep us from pulling together as a community during a pandemic. Fractures like racism and inequality. And today I’d like to talk about something that underlies all the weak points, and that is…  Read More…

September 18, 2020

Transcript “Everything is alive, and we are all relatives.” The sentence showed up in an essay I read this week by a Native Hawaiian philosopher named Manulani Aluli Meyer.

Seeing each other through

March 20, 2020

The Haleakalā crater in daylight is a swirling abstraction of grays and tans, ochers, and chocolates. In late afternoon, fog typically creeps up the mountainside and peeks over the rim, casting fantastic shadows, ready to pour into the crater and flood it entirely at the end of the day. Haleakalā is “the house of the…  Read More…

What about that cheatgrass?

August 30, 2019

So my friend Jeannie, who works in land conservation, reminded me last week: A long time ago, you and I had a conversation about cheatgrass. I maintained that it was noxious and provided no nourishment while depleting scarce water resources and taking over where native plants would have thrived. You said that all plants have…  Read More…
