This morning as I was browsing through one of my favorite SARK books, 'Succulent Wild Woman', I happened upon a 'HEALING' entry that really resonated with me. In short, she says that healing our world begins with healing ourselves. We must work to heal the bits of our souls that are wounded. To do that, "we must begin from the inside, in certain outside locations...like the OCEAN: waves remind us that there are reliable patterns like our breath. And, the negative ions in the air actually change brain waves. In the WOODS: we are surrounded by tree families and sheltered by their canopies. Keep hugging trees. ROCKS: we are reminded that growth and change can be microscopic and result in something solid. WATERFALLS: falling water speaks of constancy and power. GARDENS: in gardens our hands touch growing things and our hearts fill. TOPS OF HILLS: overlooking the world, we see tiny cars or towns and gain perspective."
It is a wonderous place to begin.
