This is how we are designed, to live in intimate relationship with all life around us. This doesn’t mean we are naturally kind or caring or attentive to that life. It only means that we are designed to be intimate with other life forms. To be attuned to them. To feel them, their joy and suffering, their presence and absence. This is why we have to learn ways to hold this information, to be in right relationship to the life around us.” —— 🦋 In March 2020 started pandemic relief efforts that continue to provide food relief to families, individuals & students across NYC’s most impoverished neighborhoods. 🦋 In February 2021 Co-founded the FIRST community plant-based/vegan fridge in all of NY.
