People tell stories all the time: the stories they want told, where any story could be changed or warped this way or that. (p84) - Alexis Wright

Of course we will require a greater workforce in health and technology, but we will also need an even greater workforce with the imagination and passion to improve the health of our combined humanity, and our connectedness with the only planet we can survive on.

This is the only planet we know that supports life. We would do well to see the world as a sacred site that is holy, speak to our planet with kindness, and protect it as such.

Anyone can find hope in the stories: the big stories and the little ones in between.
