Now comes the Deputy Director of the Berkshire Environmental Action Team, Brittany Ebeling, with the following solstice missive:
“Together, we experience the darkest day of the year each winter solstice. As defenders of wildlife and the environment, it often feels as though our struggles for clean air, water, and soil face a distressing long darkness of their own.
We are asking ourselves what it means to join with our neighbors to build meaningful healing to our hurting ecosystems in these times. Poet Jane Hirshfield writes,
The long darkness offers us new ways to gather together so our resilience is as robust and wise as that of a tree: open to new possibilities, ready to change in response to unexpected challenges, and steady in every storm. “
