Healing Ecosystems

When directors of social justice, whether parents or teachers or community leaders or religious leaders and eco-political livers, lovers address EarthJustice by recommending immersion experiences, journeys to commune with hurting populations and species and systems, We provide a better justice service by remembering that most vulnerable populations suffering from diverse systemic subclimate pathologies are not human societies associations communities families individual embodied energy systems. If social justice advocates have any doubts about this, please consider communing with trees, producers of renewable oxygen, useful for the soul function of breathing; conversing with topsoil nurturers helpful for recycling nutrition; consider an immersion experience with boundary swamps and mouths of rivers quenching salty ocean thirst, harboring birds consorting with tasty insects rodents snakes. In this face of Earth Not-Justice, we find outdoor life a long immersion journey from infant crawling on picnic blankets to ocean front death shrouds, tombs within meadows and gardens, woodlands fueled by radiant sunlight, fertilized by fully committed bodies of fibers fleas fish fowl fungi frogs foliage. Where and when and how could such unfinished immersion end with EarthJustice? Although not sure, not whole, perhaps this journey only begins and ends with outdoor people, longing to return to solidarity with trees and tides and tale-winds.
