“Storms make trees take deeper roots.”— Dolly Parton
Every day, many of us may feel like we are weathering a new storm. How we are rooted and who we are rooted with has everything to do with how we survive the storms, remain grounded and build toward the future we want.
For some of us, we have been here before. We understand it to be a season, a cycle. These communities a great deal to teach all of the rest of us about how to move with change. They mirror our world.
The northern hemisphere, in the throes of springtime, offers us renewal, growth, and possibility; all the while, the southern hemisphere glides into the cold season, reminding us of transitions, shedding, and resilience.
The world is constantly in a time of deep and rapid change. All seasons and cycles are alive, coexisting and reflecting renewal, growth, and transformation.
This issue explores renewal and resilience across people and places, representing evolution and what it looks like to move through ultimate change—rebuilding in some moments, letting go in others, and moving forward amid ongoing disruption. Drawing heavily from nature, this issue invites us all to take a moment to breathe, to see where your roots are, and who you are rooted with–and invites you to be grounded and rooted together.
