Wandering Along the Path: Right Speech

I've been talking to my family and two close friends suffering in the north with 100 plus temperatures. This is supposed to be the last day of super high temperatures, but it has been stressful for them. They don't have air conditioning and are concerned about their pets if they have any. Strange days. The weather here is perfect right now, but we are bracing for fires and jumpy. No climate change?! I beg to differ. I am afraid it will excelerate and turn out like an end of the world movie. We need to wake up, but changing are habits and consumption and greed seems impossible. We need to feel RESPONSIBLE. And there is so much distraction and now the pandemic, that we're closing off from others and not seeing our interconnectedness and interdependence. I pray it changes before nature shows us what real change can be.
