3 Quotes by Sally Gillespie

The end of the climate emergency story is unknown. Each of us is a teller and a participant. The more perspectives and sensibilities we can bring to it, the richer the tale and its possible directions. We cannot choose the times we live in , but we can choose the stories we tell and live by,

Right now, humanity as a species needs to develop myths that support the development of maturity, wisdom and agency to face into causes and effects of climate disruption and ecological collapse. Without this, our lives and planet will become wastelands, literally and metaphorically.

Changing consciousness wakes us up not only to our world and its complexities, but to the complexity of ourselves. there is a lot more in all of us than one identity, one viewpoint or one life. Just as the climate crisis alerts us to what has been ignored, forgotten and marginalised in the world, it can also wake us up to forms of knowing that have been buried within ourselves, such as nature relatedness, body awareness, intuitive knowings and spiritual connections.
