"What we pay attention to grows, so I'm thinking about how we grow what we are all imagining and creating into something large enough and solid enough that it becomes a tipping point." adrienne maree brown

This is quoted quite early in the library book I'm reading. "All We Can Save: Truth, Courage, and Solutions for the Climate Crisis." edited by Ayana Elizabeth Johnson & Katharine K. Wilkinson. Published by One World, Random House, 2020.
I'm reading a digital version from Libby, the library's on-line free edition. It's full of wonderful organization, and focuses on female voices. But I can't cut and paste, as I just tried to with the quote from Ms. brown. So I will just absorb what I can.

But I also want to learn through reading this book, what exactly would the new world order look like beyond that tipping point? When climate crisis has either dumped our culture on its ears, or there are actually armies of people working to change the wrongs humanity is doing to our planet.

Just wanted to recommend this video, which was available through Prime. Another way of looking at our dear blue planet.
“What is needed to launch our societies along the humanistic path is some sort of evolutionary compass. Some way of guiding our efforts so that they are in tune with, aligned with, the general evolutionary processes of which we are a part… So rather than seek to dominate the planet, the quest becomes one of dynamic harmonization, of evolutionary consonance, in short, of syntony. The evolutionary compass, then, would be one that points our way toward syntonious pathways for future creation.”
Alexander Laszlo
Syntony: the state of being normally responsive to and in harmony with the environment

“You are not IN the universe, you ARE the universe, an intrinsic part of it. Ultimately you are not a person, but a focal point where the universe is becoming conscious of itself. What an amazing miracle.” ~Eckhart Tolle
