What inspired me

9/30/2013

In my late 50’s I felt my growing concern about the state of the world.  Every direction that I turned – politics, schools, international affairs, health care – was a mess.  My children were worried.  I felt terrible.  What kind of a world was I living in?

I heard the term  “on our watch.”  There was a growing realization that I could not continue to do nothing.  But, I felt very overwhelmed.  It was difficult to choose where to put my attention and energy. What good could I do?.  Could the world really “be saved?”  My choice was to become better educated.

I was introduced to The Pachamama Alliance and discovered the interrelationship between social justice, environmental sustainability and a sense of fulfillment.  I learned that the real difficulties that face might be the result of mistaken assumption.  And, that there was many, many people and organizations that were working for a sustainable future.

It was most appropriate that the debut of Elder-Activist.org occurred at the 2013 Walk for Our Grandchildren. For months I had been excited about this Walk and Rally.  The Walk was the inspiration and the 70th birthday wish of environmental activist Steve Norris, professor of Peace & Justice at Warren Wilson College, who is an old college buddy of my husband, Mordechai Liebling.

What an amazing idea!  To celebrate 70 years of life experience by creating a March that gave form to one's values, interests and connection with loved ones!   What if we all acted on our love, concerns and values rather than feeling defeated by the state of our world?
