I am hoping for some clarity this winter, some answers about which steps to take next, and what Gaia is asking me to do. How to best serve her with my life. I feel movement toward this clarity in certain respects, but I also still feel unsure.

Are we supposed to have a child?

Every time a family member or friend announces they are expecting a baby, I am overwhelmed with sadness and helplessness. I know I am meant to say congratulations, but I don’t feel happy.

I would love to have a baby, but I am struggling to justify bringing a new person into a world that faces climate change and overpopulation.
