On Soul Purpose, Sacred Grief, and Choosing to Be Here Now
Here’s a question I return to often, usually at dusk when the redwood trees outside my window go still and the sky turns that particular shade of periwinkle blue that feels almost like a memory. Why am I here? Not in the existential-crisis sense. More like a quiet recognition, a tuning fork touching something deep—because every question contains its own answer: I chose to come here. For this moment. For now.
Maybe you did too.
It’s not a humble idea. In certain company, it would raise eyebrows. But I’ve found that the people who resonate most with this kind of thinking aren’t the ones trying to inflate their importance—they’re the ones who feel an almost unbearable love for this planet and a grief they can’t quite name.
They sense that their presence here isn’t accidental, that their sensitivity, their vision, their refusal to accept the world as broken—these things are not weaknesses. They are the whole point.
A Soul Contract Older Than Your Biography
Many wisdom traditions speak of souls choosing their incarnations. The Tibetan Buddhist teachings on the bardos, certain strands of shamanic cosmology, even the Phaedrus of Plato—all suggest that you arrived here carrying something, a purpose seeded before memory.
In the Celtic tradition I work with, there’s a concept of the geis, a sacred obligation—almost like a blessing mixed with a curse—woven into the soul at the moment it enters life. Not a burden exactly. More like an insistent calling.
What if your geis is serving planet Earth herself, at this precise, extraordinary, terrifyingly luminous moment in her evolution?
That reframes everything. That’s why you feel the pain so acutely when a forest is cleared, when a river runs gray with toxic runoff, when another species vanishes—that’s not weakness. That’s your chosen assignment making itself known.
The Grief That Points Toward Purpose
Joanna Macy, the eco-philosopher and Buddhist scholar, spent decades working with what she calls the “work that reconnects”—helping people move through the grief of our ecological moment into active, rooted engagement. Her central insight: the pain you feel for the world is not a sign that something is wrong with you. It is the world feeling itself through you. It is love with nowhere to go yet.
The invitation is to let that love find its channel.
For some of us, that channel is art—making beauty that reminds people what’s worth protecting. For others it’s writing, teaching, healing, regenerative agriculture, conscious business, raising children who honor the land beneath their feet. Or maybe a mixture of all of those and more. There is no single heroic role. There are a thousand small, fierce acts of devotion.
You Chose a Difficult Moment
Let’s be clear about our time. Climate disruption, species collapse, political fracture, a collective psyche stretched thin by information overload and manufactured outrage—this is not a comfortable era we live in. If you’re here and awake, you’ve taken on a considerable burden.
But here’s what I keep noticing: the people who hold this awareness without being crushed by it share something. They haven’t minimized the difficulty. They’ve contextualized it. They understand, on some cellular level, that darkness isn’t the end of the story. That breakdown precedes transformation in every natural system they’ve ever studied or loved. That the caterpillar literally dissolves before it flies.
You came here for the dissolution. And you came for the flight.
What It Means to Show Up
Showing up for Earth in this challenging time doesn’t necessarily mean dramatic sacrifice. Sometimes it’s exactly the opposite—choosing joy so ferociously that you light up a portal others can walk through. Tending your own inner ecology with as much care as you’d give a struggling watershed. Letting yourself be genuinely, unapologetically thrilled by a heron, a perfect tomato, a child laughing at something only they can see.
The New Earth isn’t built only by activists and scientists, as essential as they are. It’s built equally by people like you and me who remember how to be fully alive on a living planet—and who pass that remembering on.
Earth needs you… and your path of service is illuminated by your passion and joy. Follow it and it will lead you to uplifting new vistas you haven’t even imagined yet.
