Doomsday clock has now advanced to to 90 Seconds to midnight: the closest it has ever been

This newsletter is about the planet, and I had planned to write this week about light topics, like walking in nature, discovering a rare small mushroom on my island, or about my cat Luna. But it's hard to escape the worrying news about our beautiful planet, so tonight, I just have a short update for you about the state of the planet.

One of my favorite poets, Mary Oliver, died four years ago today. I’ve always especially appreciated the poignancy & relevance of these last lines of her poem, “On Traveling To Beautiful Places”… “How perfect to be aboard a ship with maybe a hundred years still in my pocket. But it’s late, for all of us, and in truth the only ship there is is the ship we are all on burning the world as we go.” ~by #MaryOliver #Poem #poetry
