This raises the very important questions, "do we regard the earth as living?--as worthy of care in the very way we regard our fellow human beings?"; "do we see ourselves inextricably intertwined with the earth's well-being and destiny?" <br /><br />The answers to these questions seem self-evident in my opinion but our collective actions say otherwise.<br /><br />Thank you for your work with Earth Ministry!Brianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14084603625532270095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7919213371762895514.post-92223101323002210292013-10-31T16:12:45.174-07:002013-10-31T16:12:45.174-07:00Thanks John and Margie!

Making the bullet more of a bullet and less of a canonball.

But we also have time to decrease the despair, as you wrote.

We cannot become good caretakers until we acknowledge that the patient (Creation) is critically ill. <br /><br />John<br />Delaware Interfaith Power and LightJohn Sykeshttp://www.deipl.orgnoreply@blogger.com
