Quote of the Week...

Food for Thought...

What she taught me was to feel... that you're part of this place, not a visitor.  That's a huge difference.  This wonderful quote from Craig Foster comes near the end of his amazing odyssey with an octopus and is captured in his documentary, My Octopus Teacher.  Foster records his encounter with an octopus and the relationship that develops over time.  The footage is beautiful and breathtaking.  The relationship is serendipitous and poignant.  The trajectory of the documentary is engaging and deeply moving.  Foster’s work is a window into an aspect of the natural world that I imagine most of us have no sense of.  His quote, What she taught me was to feel. . .  that you’re part of this place, not a visitor.  That’s a huge difference. echoes in my consciousness as we approach this Sunday and the observance of the Feast of St. Francis.  To Read More, Click Here. . .
