Look to the Nurse Logs: Joyful Changemakers

Change is woven into the ongoing evolution of earth's many beings. Change also results from countless human choices and decisions that have devastating consequences for the natural world and for the work of environmental educators.  Change is challenging at best.  Where in the wide web of beings can we find a guide to accompany us through all that change requires?  One possibility -- we can look to nurse logs who model deep, joyous change that nurtures and nourishes diverse new life.  That joy is bound up with gratitude and grief and the capacity to see what we haven't seen before.  Nurse log joy offers a fresh invitation to lean into the future.
