Love as unflinching presence with collective suffering, refusing numbness or escape when grieving civilizational collapse.
Mirabai loved Krishna with radical vulnerability, singing her devotion even as her world rejected her. Prema—divine love—becomes a practice of bearing witness to what is being lost without turning away. In anticipatory grief for civilization, this means cultivating a love fierce enough to see clearly: the extinctions, the inequities, the systems failing. Unlike love that demands happy endings, Mirabai's tradition shows us love that persists through loss, that holds the beloved (humanity, earth, culture) fully—grief and all. This fierce witness refuses both despair and denial, staying present with what deserves our attention and sorrow.
