Joanna Macy lived for 96 years and died on the 19th of July. She was a wise teacher with a an open loving heart and bright mind. Loving this earth and all beings from past, present and future. If you feel despair for this world, read her work. She will continue to inspire many.
After she died I thought about the elm dance and the elm tree. Thinking there was not one close to me, but also that there should be. The day after I went exploring and close to my forest home in Germany I found an elm. There is great comfort to be found in trees who have been here for so much longer than we have and who will continue to be here.
With gratitude, with sadness, with lust for life and determined to continue this work
