To start, so many are burdened by the everyday sacrifices that come with oppression. That’s where we must understand that there is no liberation unless it is collective liberation.
We can choose to see the work of planetary liberation as a burden. On some days, it might feel that way—especially if we think we are in it alone. Or we can accept it as a holy bond, one that tethers us together to the wider realm of nature. We can expand our view of family, who we are fighting for, from insular to all-encompassing. We can understand it all as service, what some might say is the highest calling. We can remember that to sacrifice is to make sacred.
