"Those who contemplate the beauty of the earth find reserves of strength that will endure as long as life lasts" --Rachel Carson
The Meadow Across the Creek
At age twelve, Thomas Berry became acquainted with a meadow. That magic moment came to be normative for his thinking: that which preserves and enhances the meadow is good and that which opposes or negates the meadow is not good. He applies this life orientation to economic, political, educational, religious, etc. endeavors. He believes it is by experiencing lilies blooming in a meadow that we remember to coordinate our meaning with the meaning of our surroundings, orient our children to the center of the universe so they can orient themselves to their own centers, give voice to the mysteries of existence, become universe-referent, celebrate the universe, and ultimately, join the symphony called to heal the planet.
BE THE CHANGE
Sit outside and look at the stars, find a meadow and listen for an afternoon, take an early morning walk in a park or on a path where you can experience nature.
