CELEBRATING THE SEASON OF CREATION

Here are some suggestions for celebrating the Season of Creation.

Practice meditation and prayer connected to the wonder of creation from the vastness of the universe to the diversity of every creature and of our place  within this creation.

Study one specific creature or ecosystem or natural system (Gulf Stream) or topic (plants as carbon sinks).

Enjoy being outside in nature. Just being in nature relieves stress and grounds us spiritually.

Be childlike in exploring nature (do leaf rubbings and sketch or take photos). 

Apply  Earth Steward values to managing home, yard and transportation (think conserving energy, water, air and soil). 

Examine purchasing  habits and management of “stuff” (Reduce, Repurpose, Repair, Recycle and Replenish (soil via composting).

Keep the sustainability and health of the earth in mind when voting, advocating and donating.
