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?

Neriya Dean 11/16/2023 12:22 PM

That rings very true to me. Even though we spend most of our time indoors now people thousands of years ago spent their entire life outside. I believe as humans we came from the earth and will go back to it and are therefore connected to it.

REFLECTION QUESTION
Nature Practice Gratitude for Earth

Kathleen Dean Moore says that a sense of gratitude leads to a sense of moral obligation. Do you agree? How can we cultivate a sense of gratitude as individuals, and as a society?

Neriya Dean 11/16/2023 12:07 PM

I agree, I think as soon as we gain gratitude for what we have we see what we also do not have to. I think this makes a positive impact on our moral obligation.
