REFLECTION QUESTIONNature Enjoy the Sunrise/SunsetFather 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?
Norman Butterfield 11/30/2023 12:39 PMI think it is a nice thought but most people do not have time or energy to enjoy sunsets and sunrises. Maybe if things were different and people didn't have to work all the time, but until that fantasy becomes a reality its more of a luxury to be able to watch the sunset over the ocean or the sun rise atop the mountains. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONCommunity Engage In Active ListeningWhat was it like to actively listen to someone? How did both people and the conversation(s) benefit from active listening?
Norman Butterfield 11/30/2023 12:28 PMIt was difficult at first because I did not know the person but after a while it was interesting to hear their stories and opinions while trying my best not to interject.
