Lots to think about, and put together with such elegant coherence! This will give me great talking points. Our neighborhood has become very chummy and organize around fire!
Thank you, Starhawk, for your clear-headed, community minded perspective. You remind me how important it is to learn from the wise practices of our indigenous forbears and to collaborate with our friends and neighbors, including plant and animal kin, for all our sakes, and the sake of our earthly home.
Thank you so much, dear Starhawk, for this deeply moving, inspiring, informative, and educational post... I will be sharing it widely. And thank you for affirming our shared humanity, by highlighting "those common values we share across lines of political difference: generosity, compassion, and human decency." As we all know, "divide and conquer" is the oldest political strategy there is...
And thank you for emphasizing the need for a shared focus on the climate crisis: "May these horrific fires ignite our will to confront this great crisis of our time and create a world of greater resilience." So mote it be....
I appreciate you writing this thoughtful piece. I read your book the Fifth Sacred Thing in the 80's when finishing college. How prescient your words were and how so much has come to pass. Surely we can learn and listen to the earth and the wisdom gained. I have read the book 4 times which provide lessons we can all still learn from.
At the NC Aboretum they had a display on basket making, stating that to this day industrialized methods are incapable of replicating basket weaving. It also brings to mind the down the nose way such technologies were/are looked upon as having no value. Thank you for giving this context.
thank you Starhawk, for your wisdom, your truth and your resilience. all these elements of nature have so much to teach us. are we opening to learning.....in time.
Thank you for this excellent overview of the reality fires and the indigenous practices that we still can pick up and apply, practice as climate change, Israel and we certainly do not want to go backwards. To suppression.
Thank you for sharing Starhawk. I appreciate this. I reside in New Mexico and I feel the effects of climate change/global warming. We are praying for snow at the moment. I feel like global warming is happening but I also feel like it is happening at an accelerated rate because of wifi and the evolution of tech that continues. I think the world also needs to have some sort of response-ability toward the ongoing Fukushima disaster, the media is silent about this disaster and how it may be also a huge part of our current climate collapse. in prayer and action < 3
There are so many intersecting ecological crises, and we don't know the complexities of all the interactions. But we do know what to do about them all, and the good news is that we have the tools and understandings to regenerate ecosystems. So let's do it!

This is a gift. Thank you.
