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?

God is in all of nature including the woodpecker in my tree that wakes me up most mornings. His Warmth is in the sunshine. His Love is in both the gentle breeze & rushing wind. His Hope is in the changing seasons. Staying indoors limits us to human creation. Stepping out into the great wide world put us in His Presence.

My 3 year old saw an opossum on our deck & was fascinated with it. It was like a zoo experience at home. LOL So we looked it up. She loved the prehensile tail & now uses prehensile in sentences accurately. The moms also carry their babies on their back so "let's play opossum" doesn't mean "play dead" in her world. It means I give her a opossum-back ride. Her grandfather gave her a stuffed animal opossum and said that some people eat opossum. She was very upset that someone in the world would want to eat Pete the Opossum so we had to promise not to eat him. :D

  I found Absurd Planet on Netflix this week- and ended up watching a few of them! I fell in love with this show! I loved the clown fish and their relationship with the anemone. The clown fish receive protection from the anemone and the anemone receive food from the clown fish.
  I also learned there are a lot of sea animals that have that type of symbiotic relationship, and I am sure animals in general.

  Thanks for not eating Pete :)
