  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Nature Spend Time Outside
    Rachel Carson said that we need the beauty and mysteries of the natural world for our spiritual and emotional development. Does that ring true for you? What are the implications for a culture that spends most of its time indoors?

    indoor culture doesn’t bode well for us, our health, or the environment.  i feel like as i have grown busier and busier, leaving time to go outside falls by the wayside due to the technological and industrialized world we live in, and it terrifies me.

    honestly I wasn't sure if writing down things I feel grateful for would have an impact on me but it really did and I feel like I appreciate the people in my life better
