“The issues that we attempt to suppress and sweep under the rug--or repress, which means we sweep under the rug unconsciously—they don’t go anywhere, they just go in the darker crevices of our mind and then, like poisoning in groundwater, they seep into us, unconsciously, and we feel stressed and anxiety, and when it reaches a certain level we become more aware of it, and when we don’t take action is that it just keeps poisoning us, building up, we know over and over again, and studies show this, that when people start to name the problem and figure out a strategy to address it, that their anxiety goes down.”

This episode is the last interview of the season, though I may do a bonus episode in the coming weeks. Once I’m back in the city and have a better internet connection again, I plan to return for a new season in the fall and winter, interviewing some terrific folks about what a better and healthier world might look like: our cities, wild places, food systems, and more. Until then, I wish you historically seasonal weather, clear air, calm seas, and at least some of the pleasures of our childhood summers.
