“A Spiritual Relationship With the Material World”
How did we reach a point where our ways of life and livelihood threaten irreversible damage to the biosphere we depend on to survive? We got here by forgetting what indigenous people have always understood: matter and spirit are one, and life on the material plane is a spiritual path. Our best guide on this path is the Earth itself and its community of species. If we walk or sit in any place that remains wild, listening quietly, we can begin to hear it speaking to us from inside, from the depths of spirit, where we too remain wild, and enter a personal relationship with the world that nurtures and sustains us.
