Attached is a searingly honest article titled "The Uninhabitable Earth" from New York Magazine that my daughter forwarded to me this week. She shared it on Facebook, but there was only one taker. No surprise. It ain't pretty.

Meanwhile, the interior of British Columbia, Canada, is burning with a record number of forest fires in increased hot, dry conditions. Thousands have been displaced and many have lost their homes. It's heartbreaking to witness. I cry whenever I hear the sad stories of those affected.

The absurdity of life here hits me more and more everyday. Whenever I walk into stores and shopping centers, I get visions of empty buildings, bare and stripped of food and merchandise.

Do I feel fear? Yes. I won't be here in physical form when the planet goes up in ashes. But I'm fearful for those who will suffer. I'm doing my best to process the feelings. Yes, the only viable solution is a shift in consciousness. I feel the urgency.
