Thank you for this beautiful sunset picture. Looks like a lovely spot and how fitting that the lake is heart-shaped.
I definitely got overwhelmed by the news from all over the world and the title of your newsletter is very fitting - what about "All those left behind". Only so much I can do from here. There's money, there's helping friends in need, there's making sure I don't support the party who thinks that people should be left behind because we need to protect our values, wealth and way of life and my vote in a local election underlines that. What I don't understand is why people don't come together to make this world a better place for everybody. I'm having a hard time dealing with all the division that is created and it has gotten much worse during the pandemic. And I'm saying that from the safety of my home - I can't even begin to imagine what life must be like for those left behind.
Thank you for sharing your thougths and that lovely sunset.
I so much agree, I also fail to understand why people don't make this world a better place, the older I get the more frustrating it is to see us making the same mistakes over and over again.
Most of them didn't stay behind, they were abandoned. I don't know what's happened to my country. I never thought we would leave Americans behind, or leave Afghans that helped us. And now the women and young girls have no hope of a decent life. 💔
The news has been overwhelming from the destruction of hurricane, Ida, Afghanistan, the uptick in COVID cases, and the shootings throughout the States.
Petitions are signed, calls and emails made to get action on climate change and it feels as though it all gets sucked into quicksand and little action happens. Perhaps with all the destruction seen this summer action will finally happen. Too often legislation is blocked by social interests.
Thanks for that lovely photo. No matter how terrible the news is we can always find some beauty in nature.
‘People, I know it was a heart wrecking day. 💔 But I am here to remind you, behind every event, there’s the infinity of time and change, and a beautiful new possibility. Keep trying! Love you! Nature’
Sadly are repeated stories. In addition to the uncontrollable and unpredictable, other shadows unfold along the way. Always. On the road to change, we have to learn to question. Our hope and resilience become a challenge.
Simple things are perfect. But we are not.
How far we can go?

It would be so lovely and so welcome to have even 24 hours without breaking news of a climate crisis (I no longer say climate change), political upheaval or other disruption to our lives. It was surreal to see Ida change the direction of the Mississippi River. What a gamut of emotions in the stories of those rescued and those left behind in Afghanistan. Your sunset photo was beautiful and so welcome.
Please remember Trump wouldn’t have gotten anyone out not one Afghan and he wouldn’t of cared about the Americans. We have to be thankful that approximately 125,000 people an hourly flights were removed from an impossible situation
Yes, the public health perspective is a good one to get people motivated for change. One of our most powerful tools for change is the elections, vote for parties that really want to change things. I also believe we need more scientists in politics, they seem to be better at analyzing problems and look further ahead into the future.

I agree. If we can make a better world for everybody, then it’s better for us.
Yes, sad it is. 🙏 It's good to see your sunset photo . . .
It was such a beautiful sight. Two minutes later I saw deer nearby.
It’s a very sad day. But we must keep going, one step at a time, if need be! Thank you for your peaceful videos!
Thank you, Louisa

Yes. There is sadness. But beauty in nature that gives one the strength to face another day.
yes!

And that Trump left Biden with just 2,500 U.S. troops in Afghanistan and a deal made with the Taliban
SHUTDOWN ANIMAL AG NOW. CLIMATE CHANGE IS AN EMERGENCY ❗ #PlantbasedTreaty
