Field Reading from COP - November 21, 2025

For consciously closing

It’s not easy to say goodbye.
It’s not easy to transition.
So many moments call to be cherished.
So many moments call to be understood.

Nevertheless, we dare to move,
Daring to move onwards with it all,
all the moments,
all the intensities
all the turmoils we have lived through - together.

And so we say, here is to resting
And so we say, here is to being with it what was
And so we say, here is to digesting - with and over time.

Facing and meeting the waste spectrum of our current state as humanity is a big buffet to be put in front.
The full spectrum has made itself visible to us once more.
And we, we in the middle of it - both witnesses and participants.

To grapple with it all, is required
To sit with it all, is requested
To acknowledge it and grow our inner clarity and perseverance from it, is a non-negotiable.

Therefore,
let’s transition with care and grace for ourselves
let’s transition with wonder and awe for all involved
let’s transition with clarity that this is our calling,
calling us back together across differences and divides
calling us back together to give rise.
calling us back together to give rise to what we share,
our shared Earth, our shared humanity.
