At the Turning Point March 2nd, 2019 [image: snowdrops.jpg]

Dear Reader,

A Buddhist nun shared a phrase that touched my heart, ‘*Mother Earth is
doing her best*.’ It has been my mantra as I notice the earliest signs of
Spring beginning to emerge where I live in Rose Valley, Pennsylvania – a
robin, and the very first buds of renewal outside my door. And even though
the rose bushes still look stark and bleak, I know the promise of life is
there. We are nearing the turning point between winter and spring in this
hemisphere, coinciding with the day our Spring edition of Kosmos Quarterly
<https://kosmosjournal.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?u=a2e6f01f29f00e615c1467a04&id=de40aab830&e=1714399d97>
publishes, *Rising Earth Awareness. *

You have heard the phrase, *Great Turning* – the transition to a global
society in harmony with all Life. All around us, we see the early signs of
this emergence. People are waking up to the realities of our present
situation. Yes, it looks bleak at times, and many still live in denial –
business as usual. Yet, there is no denying it – greater Earth awareness on
the rise.

If you have ever been to Astor Place in New York City, you have seen the
big *Cube* sculpture, positioned there on its axis. It is heavy and it
takes more than one person to move it. I have seen friends and strangers
come together to turn the *Cube*, and participated myself a few times. One
person can not do it alone. People must push together. That is the kind of
moment we face, except it is no less than a turning point for humanity.

In this spirit, *Kosmos* seeks to bring together those who wish to unite
our energy and seed our communities with hope and resilience. The Climate,
Consciousness and Community Summit takes place April 20-23

during Easter, Passover and Earth Day. This is the great work of our time.
No matter what our individual outlook may be – doubt, fear, outrage,
determination – each of us has a choice to make, whether or not we will *push
together*, for Life. Join us!

In loving cooperation,
R. Fabian and your Kosmos Team

The Economics of Solidarity, Spirit, and Soul

By Shaun Chamberlin
in the Winter edition of Kosmos Quarterly

“Today, cracks are appearing everywhere. The edifice is crumbling. We all
know, of course, that this economy is unsustainable—devouring its very
foundations as it does—but we easily forget that this means it will end.
Easy to forget, perhaps, because for all that we resent the hollow
emptiness it imparts, the prospect of its absence, too, is terrifying for
those of us who were only raised to retrieve water from a tap, food from a
supermarket.”
