Love this! Have you seen the videos of rescue beavers in people's houses still trying to build dams? A great metaphor for just ploughing on with the mission despite adverse conditions https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ImdlZtOU80

Thanks Olivia. Beautiful. Great you have found your inner beaver again. I believe you have always had it even if it took on other forms like building relationships and building work for young founders. I hear you are in a more natural habitat with place based actions rather than the large scale build we hear from tech utopia. More tending and trusting and treating people as people that you understand so well. Building trust and cooperation between humans is the best way to push away the overwhelm. Take good care.
