Love, Care and Community
Journal Article
Love and care for each other and for the Earth Herself tell a story so different to the discord and divisiveness that shouts all around us. It takes us back to roots that nourish us in the soil and the soul.
Watching River Otters
Journal Article
Watching the river otters playing, I know that there is a deeper truth to our journey, older than any belief or ideology, and far from the discords of today.
Death and Rebirth
Journal Article
We do know that we have to learn to live in harmony with the earth and her more-than-human inhabitants. We can no longer afford to be exiles in our own land, starved of what is sacred.
The Labyrinth and the Black Madonna
Journal Article
We cannot return to the innocence of an earlier time, but this bond between humanity and creation remains, hidden beneath all the debris of our culture.
Holding a Seed for the Future
Journal Article
The future will not be as we have planned—our world is already too far out of balance. But this may be our most important gift to future generations—a belief in living Oneness.
Including the Earth in Our Prayers
Journal Article
We need to reclaim the simple truth that spiritual life is not solely about ourselves, and open to a larger, all-embracing vision. If spiritual life is not about the whole, it has lost its true nature.
Rejoining the Great Conversation
Journal Article
[Greta Thunberg’s words] brought tears to my eyes, as my soul heard her speak about real care for the Earth—for this living, beautiful being who has given us life, who has nourished us with Her endless generosity, even as we have abused and desecrated Her, raped and pillaged Her body, which our culture regards greedily as just a “resource” for our endless use and abuse.
Unity and the Power of Love
Journal Article
Oneness is not a metaphysical idea but something essential and ordinary. It is in every breath, in the wing-beat of every butterfly, in every piece of garbage left in on city streets.
