Hope you're enjoying your Saturday, wherever you are.  

"I believe the world is incomprehensibly beautiful -- an endless prospect of magic and wonder."  (Ansel Adams)
​

From Pantheist Vision, we read:

This eminent British historian and major interpreter of Western Civilization in the 20th century was born in 1889.  Toynbee's sweeping perspective on human history led him to affirm a Pantheist world view:  "If I am right in my diagnosis of mankind's present-day distress, the remedy lies in reverting from the Weltanschauung of monotheism to the Weltanschauung of pantheism, which is older and was once universal."

Have you enjoyed some of the wonders of Nature right outside your door or window today?  It could be a little hummingbird, colorful summer flowers, fluffy white clouds, or maybe a thunderstorm...so many to choose from...every day.

Celebrating the birthday of John Muir, born April 21, 1838, in Scotland (moved to the U.S. at age 11), conservationist, naturalist, writer, and a favorite of pantheists everywhere.  Learn much more about his life from the Sierra Club by clicking here.

In this weird time right now when we are more limited to walks in our own yards and neighborhoods, here's a quote that seems appropriate:


"The lesson which life repeats and constantly enforces is 'look under foot.' You are always nearer the divine and the true sources of your power than you think. The lure of the distant and the difficult is deceptive. The great opportunity is where you are. Do not despise your own place and hour. Every place is under the stars. Every place is the centre of the world."

​(John Burroughs)

We have two occasions to celebrate today.
​
First, Happy Pi Day!  Yes, it's 3/14.  I guess a lot of people celebrate by eating actual pie, but in reality, Pi is everywhere!  Learn more  about the "cosmic piece of Pi" from this NASA site by clicking here. 
​

​And, Happy Einstein Day!  Today is Albert Einstein's birthday.  Born in 1879, he was a renowned physicist with pantheistic awareness.  "Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better."
