It’s Tu Bishvat, the New Year of Trees.
Do not give up!
The forests burn but
Electric vehicles;
The seas rise but
LED lightbulbs;
Species disappear but
Solar power;
Millions starve but
Wind turbines.
We’ll be long dead but
Laser fusion!
Blessed Holy Wholeness,
Within which lives our ingenuity and hope
Alongside our stupidity and despair,
May the solutions scale up and arrive in time
To save us all from our own greed and folly, Amen.
Happy New Year, trees! And good luck.
