  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Nature Enjoy the Sunrise/Sunset
    Father Thomas Berry says, "... our primary purpose is celebration. Celebration of the dawn and the sunset and the different seasons of the year is a religious ritual, a way in which humans can establish their integral relationship with the universe, with the planet Earth." What is your response to Berry's assertion?

    I love the feeling of an early start!  I daily walk my dog in the pre-dawn hours.  I stretch and have quiet meditation to begin a new day.

    I go to bed rather early and rise early too.  I enjoy the solitude and the "clean slate" each new day brings.

    Action Track: Healing and Renewal Go for a Daily Walk Outside
    Fresh air and movement are good for our entire being and can help us think more clearly and creatively. How does taking a walk each day affect yourself and/or your work?

    I begin each work day at 4:30 with coffee and a dog walk, followed by stretching or strength work.  Afterwards, I feel energized for what the day will bring at home and work!

      Prior to covid, I walked an hour a day around 4 pm.  My work shift was 11 am to 8 pm, so it gave me a really great recharge in the middle of the day.  It gave time away from the computer screen, fresh air, and the experience of beauty in my walk.  I loved seeing the same trees change through the seasons.

    Exercise and keeping away from toxic people!  Others can benefit by doing the same.  The Pandemic brought us "social distancing" the new name for how I have been living my life!  LOL.
