Episode 12 - What on Earth?

Today we take the time reflect on what Earth means to us, who we are in relationship with it, and who will we be going forward.

NOTES:

Wendell Berry: “But even more important, we must learn to acknowledge that the creation is full of mystery; we will never entirely understand it. We must abandon arrogance and stand in awe. We must recover the sense of the majesty of creation, and the ability to be worshipful in its presence. For I do not doubt that it is only on the condition of humility and reverence before the world that our species will be able to remain in it.”

The Earth is a Divine Creation. We are a part of the Divine Creation - as are all beings - not separate from it.

Dialogue Questions:

What/who is Earth to you? What is your relationship to it?

What belief system where you taught about Earth and humankind's relationship to it

What do you believe now?

How would you live your life if you truly believed that you were one with the Creator and Creation? What steps can you take today?
