Thank you for this opportunity, Orla and Jennifer.  Some thoughts:

Ilya Prigogine-  “When a complex system is far from equilibrium, small islands of coherence in a sea of chaos have the capacity to shift the entire system to a higher order.”

https://igcummins.substack.com/p/it-will-melt?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email .  This comes from my former pastor, Ian Cummins– a mystic masquerading as a Presbyterian Minister 🙂

And Krista Tippett— start at 48:00 for Thay (Thich Nhat Hanh)  quote. https://bioneers.org/how-then-might-we-live-on-being-an-intimate-interview-with-krista-tippett/– when his followers questioned rebuilding when the bombing kept happening, his reply was: “We do this because it’s the next right action within arms reach.”  So our personal challenge each day is:  What is the next best step within arms reach that is mine to do? while at the same time acknowledging Rilke’s cautionary statement: ” to rush to the answer to the question is to deny the gravity of the question.”
