The facts are scarry, its true, but use your knowledge to help spur you to action, not to slouch down to defeat. All other life on Earth is counting on us. A big part of the solution is to add the spiritual dimension to the environmental movement. One problem with the environmental movement so far is that it seems to be based on fear. Fear is a great motivator, but its not our way.
Love is, better, but only with courage.
Courage is what we feel we need to emphasize now - that is, knowing the facts, how close we are to the verge of extinction, but courage not to be petrified by the fear, to overcome the fear, and act in spite of it. Courage based on love so as to overcome fear, not be attached to fear. To ignore the facts, to not know the good cause for fear, is hiding, escapism. Love without knowledge is not nearly as helpful as love with knowledge, triggering courage to act. We join with two prominent Dagara spokemen, Malidoma and Sobonfu, to help them raise money for materials so the Dagra people can build resevoirs and dig wells to save themselves.
