Isn’t it preferable to write about who the human person is in their fullness as ordinary humans? Mystics have been understood to be ordinary humans who have entered into a distinct…[Read more]

I hadn’t thought of the stream continuing to flow as part of the image that is not shown in the painting. I have to think about how that might be painted, I think the water would be clearer so you could see more deeply into the stream and there would be some calm pools. Yes, opening the door to the…[Read more]

It is in Befriending the Earth, p. 43. The version in this book is: “In my view, the human community and the natural world will go into the future as a single sacred community or we will both perish in the desert.”

I like the connections you are making. It occurred to me as I read through it that you might consider the significance of the recognition by physicists that the “fire” of the sun is a thermonuclear fusion reaction. It is quite different from the fire we know. This enerygy from the sun connects us to very…[Read more]
