What is the use of a house if you haven’t got a tolerable planet to put it on?

Private comfort rests on something larger that nobody owns privately. A good roof, a warm room, a settled routine all quietly assume air worth breathing and weather that behaves. When the shared ground gives way, the improvements you made to your own corner stop counting for much.

Notice where your planning stops at your own doorstep. This week, put a small part of your attention or effort into something held in common: the street, the water, the trees near you. It does not have to be large to be honest, and nobody has to see you do it.
