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?

Doug Motel 4/30/2020 11:38 AM

Yes. This is very true because the natural world doesn't jabber on about "the past" and "the future". The natural world is here and now and we can't help but be inspired by that!
