The intersection of #buddhism and #environmentalism has interesting insights on dealing with climate despair. An obituary for Joanna Macy:

"In a 2010 interview for the American Public Media radio program “On Being,” Ms. Macy said that a “dance with despair” was the central experience of her life — but that by not running away from grief, she had learned that the feeling could be transformed.

“When we take it in our hands,” she said of grief, “when we can just be with it and keep breathing, then it turns. It turns to reveal its other face, and the other face of our pain for the world is our love for the world, our absolutely inseparable connectedness with all life.” "
