Listing to Nature's Life
Taking time to listen to the natural world reveals a new dimension of being
human. It is as if all of nature were already within us, reminding us of our
connection to the one life we share.
Solitude
Solitude is a silent storm
that breaks down all our dead branches.
Yet it sends our living roots deeper
into the living heart of the living earth.
