but because joy is what the earth gives me daily and I must return the gift.

Hello Friends,
Thank you to Robin Wall Kimmerer for the enduring clarity and beauty of her work.
While writing this newsletter, I came across a new phrase: the world’s store of goodness. I love the way it sounds — generous, abundant, quietly hopeful. To discover where it appears, you’ll have to read all the way through and find it.
In this issue, we spend time with a winter fruit that is plentiful this season — though it comes with an important health caution worth knowing. We look at a Harvard program rooted in love and care. We travel to Costa Rica, where an inspiring biodiversity experiment is truly bearing fruit. I also share what I’ve been reading, watching, and listening to lately — including a film that reminds us how inseparable the health of the planet is from the health of people.
Onwards!
