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?

I am very guilty of spending too much time indoors. I do think that humans need natural spaces to connect both spiritually and emotionally. I have noticed in the past and this week, while under stay at home orders, the moments I have been able to spend outside have been amazing. Spring is my favorite season in NYC; this weekend I was lucky enough to go to a park. Many trees and flowers are currently blooming. The vibrant colors of yellow, green, purple, and white were so overwhelming and a gorgeous reminder of how beautiful the world is, even during this strange time of corona virus. It has been a bright spot in my week and a good reminder of how lucky I am to be able to go on walks in parks and enjoy natural spaces.
