"Every religious tradition on which we draw has a reverence for life. We are a part of an intricate web of life. Every tradition on which we draw teaches that the ultimate expression of our spirituality is our action. Deep spirituality leads to action in the world. A deep reverence for life, love of
nature's complex beauty and sense of intimate connection with the cosmos leads inevitably to a commitment to work for environmental and social justice."
~ Peter Morales
Today's touchstone builds upon yesterday's themes of connection, prayer, caring for one
another, and doing good in the world, all rising from reverence.
Like yesterday, today's quote is founded upon reverence. Let's nourish it again today. Its power and influence is so needed in our world.
Begin by welcoming the reverence blessing of the godmothers in The Twelve Gifts of Birth.
"May you appreciate the wonder that you are and the miracle of all creation" they say.
What next?
Join me in imagining today's
doorway.
Since it leads us through the beauty of nature into service in the world, what might it look like?
I see a circular door, deep in a vibrantly-alive forest. This door connects inner and outer beauty. Anyone passing through this door is guided toward some inspired action in the world.
Whether or not you imagine passing through this particular doorway, what step is your heart leading you to
take?
