REFLECTION QUESTIONNature Practice Gratitude for EarthKathleen Dean Moore says that a sense of gratitude leads to a sense of moral obligation. Do you agree? How do we cultivate a sense of gratitude as individuals, and as a society?
Karen Clark 10/11/2019 7:05 AMIn my new area the song birds are not as prolific, and so I am finding myself missing them. I am fortunate to own a house where I used to live, and it has outside security cameras, and sometimes I log in to the cameras to listen to the sound of the morning. My sense of loss over this daily environmental asset is tempered by my gratefulness for the privilege of being able to hear the birds at my house any time I want. -
