Whew! It’s a lot to hold these days,isn’t it? Thanks for sharing such a wide array of content. We’ve got to bear witness to the loss as we celebrate the beautiful moments. I appreciate your work.
This newsletter. It didn't quite move me to tears, but it came close, which is saying something for a cold fish like me. So thank you. (And geez, I'm sorry that sounds so like damning by faint praise. "Thanks so much for almost making me applaud!") I can't get over the verve and humor of your writing in these dark times. It's a grace. You asked how we're coping. Oh, you know, watching a lot of Key and Peele. No, but seriously, it's the concept of refugia that animates me, especially in the face (the teeth) of such massive macro failures. I just had lunch with Jeff DeKock yesterday, a climate activist in Kenya, doing carbon capture with grasses. He appraised me with the bleak news of COP29. And I was so SICK to death of that sort of big-picture news. Anyway, your newsletter's a tonic in so many ways.

Grateful for this, Craig. I admit that I've watched through all 13 seasons of Call the Midwife in the last few months. It helps.
I’ve been listening to Carol King’s Tapestry post-election! 💚🕊💚
