Our planet is astounding. I’ve visited some incredibly beautiful places this year, and learned so much from the people who care for them. As we look forward to a new year together, let us remember that we are part of nature; that earth’s survival cannot be separated from the health of society; and that to love humanity is to love our planet. I can’t wait to continue the journey.

One of my favorite memories from the #bachproject, performing at The Coming Back Out Ball, hosted by @allthequeensmen in Melbourne. They taught me “I Will Survive,” which I’d never heard before!

On this longest day for us in the Northern Hemisphere, I’m remembering one morning a few years ago that I spent with the Wabanaki community. They live on the eastern edge of the continent, and consider it their responsibility to welcome the sun for the rest of us. It's an example of the way that culture can remind us all that we are part of nature. Photos: @AustinMann
