Loving the Earth: A new traditional value

October 16, 2020

Transcript I’m listening hard these days to voices that have a lot to say about the Earth crises we’re in. Voices that are sharing a wealth of ideas about where to go from here. Many of those voices belong to Indigenous people and young people. And what I hear from all of them sounds something…  Read More…

Everything is alive and we are all relatives

September 18, 2020

Transcript “Everything is alive, and we are all relatives.” The sentence showed up in an essay I read this week by a Native Hawaiian philosopher named Manulani Aluli Meyer.

Finding the way of the heart

July 10, 2020

Transcript Many years ago, when I lived in California, I went camping one weekend in Pinnacles National Park. The park was only a national monument then, and hardly anyone was there. Pinnacles has some spectacular hikes, and one of them leads to the very tops of those tall rocky spires. I remember climbing up and…  Read More…

Listening to nature

June 26, 2020

Transcript I’ll never forget the day that I learned that nature can talk to us. And I don’t mean in the metaphorical* sense, like seeing a tree and seeing orange leaves announce that fall is coming. Or clouds announcing that the weather is going to change. Yes, every part of nature speaks that way. But…  Read More…
