Seeds of Resilience by Goblinz Studio, Stormland This game has successfully gone through a year of Early Access and is now available in its 1.0 Release. Thanks to Ecoherencia and its work with both American Forests and the Alcoa Foundation, Spanish ecosystems are on their way to an amazing recovery. Change doesn’t happen in a day, but with many days and many hands, the planted seeds of resilience are sure to grow tall and strong. Seeds of Resilience launch trailer - Our indie pro-environment management game is out in 10 days! Is there any 'complete the bundle' option for those who already bought Seeds? I can do it through Steam but rather do it through Itch if it gets Devs for money and saves me some money too.
Life is amazingly resilient. Trees will grow over, through and around almost anything – up through rusted out automobiles, around a park bench, or through an old bicycle. Most of us have probably seen one of those sturdy weeds, growing up through a crack in the pavement. Life just has a will about it, a resilience, in the face of almost any obstacle or barrier – even a nuclear bomb. Linda Hogan wrote in her book Dwellings: “In Japan… there were wildflowers that grew in the far, cool region of mountains. The bricks of Hiroshima, down below, were formed of clay from these mountains, and so the walls of the houses and shops held the dormant trumpet flower seeds. But after one group of humans killed another with the explosive power of life’s smallest elements split wide apart, the mountain flowers began to grow. Out of the crumbled, burned buildings they sprouted. Out of destruction and bomb heat and the falling of walls, the seeds opened up and grew. What a horrible beauty, the world going its own way, growing without us. But perhaps this, too, speaks of survival, of hope beyond our time.” We human beings are part of life – we all have that resilience within us.

And, sometimes finding that place of resilience within can be incredibly challenging. Our culture does not help us – American culture loves to celebrate “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps.” We love stories of the lone heroine or hero overcoming seemingly insurmountable difficulty all on their own. Some of us do seem to be unending founts of resilience, which is wonderful. Resilience can and often does come from within – it also doesn’t only come from within. Resilience, studies have shown, also comes from our connections with others. When we are struggling, when we are having a hard time, we do better when we have supportive people around us to help us through the struggle. And even if you could manage the challenge alone, there’s no one giving out medals for having done it “all by yourself.” One way to cultivate greater resilience in ourselves is by creating and drawing upon connections with others.
Another way to cultivate greater resilience in yourself is by practicing. We all face smaller difficulties in our lives, and how we handle them matters. If we let small setbacks get us down, or if we allow them to cause us to give up – that’s likely to be our response when faced with more significant challenges as well. Some folks who have been called resilient in the face of significant challenges have responded by saying, “I didn’t feel resilient or even particularly hopeful. I was just stubborn and persistent.” Sometimes maybe that’s what resilience looks like – hard-earned persistence. Sometimes there’s truth in the old saying of “fake it until you make it.” Leaning into your resilience doesn’t mean it all feels good – it does often mean doing what needs to be done, regardless of how challenging the circumstances around us are.

Our context also matters – resilience in a 5-year old looks different than in a 25-year old, which looks different than in a 75-year old. Author Martha Roggli writes, “At sixty-nine I am certainly not the youngest in my exercise class, but I’m not the oldest, either. Arriving before eight each morning, we gather in the foyer and lace up our tennis shoes. Over the years my fellow fitness junkies have amazed me. These women are recent cancer survivors; they have osteoporosis; some have had hip, knee, or other bone injuries or replacements. Some have lost a loved one or have an ill spouse… Yet we face each day by challenging our bodies together. We’re not rushing into a burning building, but it is brave to confront this final arc of life with resilience and a sense of humor.” If we judge our own resilience by generic cultural norms and standards, it could appear we’re falling short, and that kind of self-judgment certainly does nothing to increase our resilience. We each have our own set of challenges in life, and comparing to others does little to help and much to harm. Honoring the areas where we are resilient, in our life, can help us build even more resilience for the future.

Given how often in life we encounter difficulties, on a scale both small and large, being able to respond with resiliency is an important skill to have. As we explore February’s theme of Resilience together this month, I hope we can explore not only the ways in which we’re naturally resilient on our own, but also the ways in which we can cultivate resiliency together.
See you in church!
