Brooke Nevin Instagram – My hope is that all world policy makers one day experience the sort of “aha” wonder and awe that Edgar Mitchell describes below. May we all appreciate Mother Earth and her many specied denizens in a way that honors this gorgeous tiny speck in the universe we call HOME.
Happy 🌍 Day. “You develop an instant global consciousness, a people orientation, an intense dissatisfaction with the state of the world, and a compulsion to do something about it. From out there on the moon, international politics look so petty. You want to grab a politician by the scruff of the neck and drag him a quarter of a million miles out and say, ‘Look at that, you son of a bitch.’” — Astronaut Edgar Mitchell
Link in my bio to a beautiful short film by Planetary Collective & written by Frank Write exploring the “overview effect” – the profound mental clarity and sense of spirituality upon seeing Earth from space.
