Libby Osgood on learning how to learn about sustainability in the novitiate:

Learning how to learn about sustainability is not something I expected to learn in the novitiate. Ever in the process of transformation, I recognize that to be a sister means to have an endlessly renewed openness to the cries of the world. Today, that is ecological sustainability. Tomorrow… we’ll have to wait and see (and hopefully be open to whatever challenge comes).

An “endlessly renewed openness to the cries of the world” is something we should all cultivate.
