Beyond Despair
The latest, and last, issue of Satya Magazine is now available, with the full text of all articles available for free online. The theme for the issue is new beginnings, with a focus on the “a-ha!” moments that take our lives in new directions.
I hesitate to recommend specific articles because the whole issue is so good. Be sure to check out the table of contents.
My own article is called “Beyond Despair.” In it, I reveal my own “a-ha!” moment about global warming and then go on to share some things I’ve learned from the scholarly literature about inaction in the face of crises as well as some things I’ve learned from the birds here at the sanctuary. Let me know what you think.
Since we’ve been talking about forcing oneself to face the things we don’t want to see, you might also be interested in this interview with an undercover investigator of animal cruelty. On the feminist tip, have a look at this interview with Kenyan activist Rebecca Lolosoli about the all-women village of Umoja. I also found this article about elephants to be very moving.
