But each time warmer weather approaches, returning us to afternoon rains and the season of the worm, I wonder how much good my rescue efforts are really doing. In an ever-expanding Universe hurtling toward annihilation, it can be difficult to take our Earthly actions seriously. Out there, unimaginably large black holes swallow suns, planets are born from dust, and every moment that passes brings the entire cosmic order closer to heat death. The more we learn about the Universe, the smaller humanity looks. One glimpse at the night sky exposes our cosmic irrelevance. Yet, even when we limit our search for meaning to Earth, finding purpose isn’t easy, either. Our world is full of senseless cruelty and preventable suffering. Across the globe, children are dying unthinkable deaths in wars. Farm animals languish in factory farms. Climate refugees are being displaced. Plastic waste is spreading through the ocean. Food insecurity now impacts more than 2 billion people. It can seem that suffering is everywhere. And what could any of us possibly do to meaningfully change that fact? Where would we even start?
