  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Action Track: Building Resilience Spend Time Outside
    Rachel Carson said that we need the beauty and mysteries of the natural world for our spiritual and emotional development. Does that ring true for you? What are the implications for a culture that spends most of its time indoors?

    Yes, this definitly is true for me because i find that after being cooped up, it makes it really hard to find simple fun things to do to keep me occupied, but after taking a walk, i always feel refreshed.
