Her other blogs are Gnarl, and Folk Tales
I often keep asking myself as a mother, partner, friend and poet - how can I best support this planet knowing I am not a social scientist or politician. Reading about how things work often ties me up in knots but I do live here and feel a responsibility to help the world and its inhabitants. I can't imagine not caring and not thinking about it.
Living with integrity, without cruelty and selfishness has enabled me to avoid very painful relationships. I love people who are curious, kind and compassionate. I know I am lucky to live in a nation that has maintained a diversity of viewpoints, an education system and a health system, even though it's not perfect.
My teachers are mostly those who have struggled because of marginalization and prejudice. I have loved their courage and their intelligence.
Thank you to all those who care and who can articulate that care.
