Host Robert Strock discusses the need for a change in how we view and respond to our relationship with ourselves and the rest of the world. Our world is at a breaking point. Socioeconomic divisions, racial divisions, and many other dividing factors can be overcome if we can see that we can be the witness and responder to our conditioning, rather than be controlled by it, and contemplate individually how we view our place in the world. We can start by asking "What are the small or large gifts that will allow us to respond in a way that is grounded and inspired and have the best chance to be as fulfilling as possible. Are we open to this? Can we see a longing inside that wants to be heard? We may be able to see beyond our immediate identifying group, expand, and do more for others and society as a whole. Strock encourages readers to investigate movements and opportunities to help the impoverished and the planet. Search terms like "ecosystem restoration" and "regenerative agriculture." We can educate ourselves and use what we learn to affect change, whether that's helping everyone get access to voting or sharing what we've learned about ways to change how we live on and with the planet. If you ask these heartfelt questions of yourself and build a willingness within yourself to be open to authentic change, we can develop compassion and dignity for all.
