“When you look at what is happening to our world-and it is hard to look at what's happening to our water, our air, our trees, our fellow species-it becomes clear that unless you have some roots in a spiritual practice that holds life sacred and encourages joyful communion with all your fellow beings, facing the enormous challenges ahead becomes nearly impossible.” WorldLooksHardSpiritualWaterChallengesPracticeClearImpossibleAirTreeHappeningsRootsFellowsSacredSpeciesEnormousOur WorldJoyfulCommunionSpiritual Practice Book:Greening of the Self Source: Greening of the Self
“Yes, it looks bleak. But you are still alive now. You are alive with all the others, in this present moment. And because the truth is speaking in the work, it unlocks the heart. And there’s such a feeling and experience of adventure. It’s like a trumpet call to a great adventure. In all great adventures there comes a time when the little band of heroes feels totally outnumbered and bleak, like Frodo in Lord of the Rings or Pilgrim in Pilgrim’s Progress. You learn to say ‘It looks bleak. Big deal, it looks bleak.’” FeelsLooksHeartLittlesStillsMomentsFeelingsBigsDealsLordAliveProgressAdventureHeroTruth IsBandRingsPresent MomentWorking ItBig DealTrumpetsPilgrimBleakThere Comes A TimeFrodoGreat Adventure Author:Joanna Macy
