“I am beginning to understand that healing is not about returning to what was, but about accepting the change and adapting to the brokenness. This is happening all around us, for people, for the land. People have done damage to the earth and to each other that can’t be undone. We can lament what was, but that won’t help us take care of what we still have. In fact, it might just hold us back. Nature herself keeps giving and never giving up. Can we be like the trees that keep growing to seal over barbed wire, like the Diné who hung on to their ceremonies and traditions and are reviving their Navajo-Churro flocks, like the injured ram who will learn to see danger coming with one excellent eye?”
