I know that I NEED to be outside every single day - for my physical health, my emotional well being, and to feel connected to the world around me. Meaningful commitment to the health of the natural world is deepened by the experience of its beauty, and its fragility, as well.

REFLECTION QUESTIONAction Track: Building Resilience Spend Time OutsideRachel 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?
