If we are afraid of being in
the woods by ourselves, if we don’t feel energized by hiking through the
mountains or walking on the beach of an ocean, then we have cut ourselves off
from one of our main sources of wisdom.
When being in nature makes us
feel alive, when we have a special place that renews our spirit, then we will work
to protect it. This is where our ecology begins.
Our doing something makes a
difference, even if it doesn’t seem like much. Imagine if everyone stood up and
protected their sacred place in nature. The one percent standing up and
protecting a small area of nature makes a difference. No, not that one percent.
