REFLECTION QUESTIONNature Go for a Daily WalkHow do you experience your neighborhood or city differently when walking instead of driving?
Kate Green 10/05/2018 4:12 PMWalking affords me the opportunity to see details in buildings, plants, surfaces, and to interact with people along the route that driving just doesn't allow. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONNature Practice Gratitude for EarthKathleen Dean Moore says that a sense of gratitude leads to a sense of moral obligation. Do you agree? How do we cultivate a sense of gratitude as individuals, and as a society?
Kate Green 10/04/2018 5:17 PMIf we start where we are and appreciate and nourish the wonder around us, then we can incrementally expand our horizons and find more ways to care for each other and the planet. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONNature Enjoy the Sunrise/SunsetFather Thomas Berry says, "...our primary purpose is celebration. Celebration of the dawn and the sunset and the different seasons of the year is a religious ritual, a way in which humans can establish their integral relationship with the universe, with the planet Earth." Respond to Berry's assertion.
Kate Green 10/04/2018 5:10 PMYes, we are all warmed by the same sun and charmed by the same moon. This ritual helps to remind me I am connected to all others on the planet.
