🌿 Legacy of Love No. 9: Dr. Kate Marvel

Because truth can be tender—and science can speak like a prayer.

There are people who yell to be heard.

And then there are people like Dr. Kate Marvel,

who speak with such clear, rooted truth

that the whole room leans in to listen.

She is a climate scientist—a teacher of atmosphere and data, but more than that, she is a storyteller of what is real, what is rising, what is still left to protect.

Her work is not built on false hope or fear-mongering.

It is built on responsibility, reverence, and relationship.

Kate has this way of saying things that stay with you like: “We are not in control. But we are in charge.”

Those words touch my bones—because its applications are vast.

Isn’t that motherhood?

Isn’t that activism?

Isn’t that healing?

We don’t control the tides.

We don’t control the climate.

We don’t control the legacy we inherited.

But we are in charge of how we respond.

How we tend.

How we show up.

Kate doesn’t offer false comfort.

She offers honest presence—which is, in many ways, a rare and radical kind of love.

She reminds me that science doesn’t need to be sterile.

It can be sensual.

It can be sacred.

It can be soaked in responsibility and still rooted in awe.

So thank you, Kate.

For naming what’s at stake with grace.

For giving us permission to grieve and to act.

For honoring this Earth with your mind, your heart, and your words.

You are a Legacy of Love

not because you preach hope—

but because you walk with it,

axe in hand, door by door.
