    I do this sometimes on a sunny day on my deck or when everyone else goes to bed and it is quiet.  
  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Nature Enjoy the Sunrise/Sunset
    Father 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." Respond to Berry's assertion.

    I waited for last night's sunset with anticipation of the pink moon and wasn’t disappointed
