Of course, for those living in the southern hemisphere, today is the first day of winter.  We hope you're having a good day, wherever you live, as we welcome and celebrate this new season Nature shares with us.

Please enjoy this poem about the specialness of a summer day by Mary Oliver, shared from the Mary Oliver Facebook Page.

Click on the picture above to go the World Oceans Day website for lots more info, resources, action you can take, etc.   To learn more about one person's opinion on how the oceans can and will help climate change and the sea's "power to heal," click on this article, To Save the Climate, Look to the Oceans by Ayana Elizabeth Johnson.  As she points out, it's more than the emotional healing that we know Nature brings, but also providing "climate solutions."

Jane Goodall's Mystical Experience

6/2/2020

Comments

 
This article entitled ​Mystical Experience of Jane Goodall, Ph.D, was shared in our Facebook group recently.  If you consider pantheism your spiritual path, you might be interested in reading this.  But even if you are a pantheist who prefers to avoid any references to words like "spiritual" or "religious" or "mystical," you may have had your own experience of intense feelings of awe and connection out in the wilds of Nature, and as Goodall seems to describe it, an increased heightening of the senses, a deep feeling of connection and merging with Nature, with the All, an experience to be remembered. We pantheists may look at things differently sometimes or describe them in varying terms, but Nature is one thing that unites us.​
