"Knowing that you love the earth changes you, activates you to defend, protect, and celebrate. But when you feel that the earth loves you in return, that feeling transforms the relationship from a one-way street into a sacred bond."
Several friends take amazing pictures of the earth as they see it. Through their eyes, I know this sacred bond, between them and the nature they continue to explore. Each image is like a window – reflecting insight and offering space for connection to the beauty around us.
It can be challenging to slow the pace enough to see this beauty, if even out of the corner of one's eye. We rush from one thing to the next. In between, we focus on screens. Screens we hold in our hands. Twitter, Facebook, Messages, Emails, and more, often with us everywhere we go - distracting (almost always by choice). This gives us little time to calm down and revel in creation. A creation that includes each of us.
Do you believe that creation includes you? What does it mean to be a part of creation?
