How are you and the trees getting along?
How recently have you taken a walk in the woods, on the beach, or along a mountain trial?
Or perhaps, you watch the wind toss the leaves and branches of trees, or swing from their branches.
The summer issue of Holy Ground - What the Trees Said - celebrates the wonder of trees
and how the natural world restores and draws us into God's embrace. What is it in nature that calls you and makes you stop, still and wordless, as if held and absorbed in One beyond yourself?
- What is it like for you, as homo sapiens, to enter into conversation and connection with other species of life?
- And if they speak to you? What do you hear? What do they want you to know?
- I hope this issue will draw you into communion with the abundant life around you with renewed curiosity and attention.
And further, I would love to hear from you about what the trees, rivers, and critters say to you! Send me what you hear or notice or learn and, with your permission, I would love to share it with others who read Holy Ground.
Find out what the trees said. Consider the wordless communion with nature and each other that heals, restores, and reorients us. We have only to stop and listen awhile. We are surrounded with glory.
And let us know what they say to you.
