Excellent- More about Rekindling Life: A Common Front
The living world is a fire that reconstitutes itself continuously and creates countless forms of life. We must defend and rekindle the embers of life that are all around us, drawing lessons from conservationist and agro-ecological farming initiatives. The power of the living world lies in its abundance and creativity, and it can always start up again if we know how to defend and kindle its embers.

The environmental crisis can be overwhelming, but our sense of powerlessness is partly due to a misunderstanding of the natural world. We often perceive nature as a cathedral on fire, akin to Notre Dame engulfed in flames. However, the living world is not a cathedral on fire; if it were, the battle would already be lost. The living world is itself a fire that continuously regenerates and creates countless forms of life.
The problem we face today is not to stop the fire but to defend and rekindle the embers of life that surround us. We can learn from conservationist initiatives that aim to allow natural forces to take over through a process of free evolution. Agro-ecological farming initiatives also make lands hospitable for wildlife, demonstrating how specific actions can release the prodigality of life and its ability to regenerate itself.
Baptiste Morizot, a renowned environmentalist, highlights how actions like these are possible due to the abundance and creativity of the living world. The biosphere, a living fire that covers the earth, possesses the power to regenerate itself if we know how to defend and kindle its embers.
In conclusion, as the environmental crisis intensifies, it is essential to recognize that we do not face an insurmountable challenge. By understanding the natural world and taking inspired actions, we can defend and rekindle the embers of life, allowing the living world to thrive and regenerate itself. This requires a shift in our perspective, from viewing nature as a cathedral on fire to recognizing its immense power and abundance. By working together, we can create a more sustainable and resilient future for ourselves and future generations.
