  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    People 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?

    The Spiritual and emotional development while in nature, rings very true for me. Its my form of meditation. I find that I feel less stressed, and more in tune with myself. Relaxed and present. 

    Here is a picture of this morning's sunrise. Enjoy!

    I learned about the challenge through work, but it aligns with habits I once had. I want to commit to being a better neighbor and visitor of this realm.

      I like the verbiage Laura - "a better . . . visitor of this realm."  Thanks so much!
