…and listening in nature

The universe is composed of subjects to be communed with, not objects to be exploited.

Everything has its own voice.

Somehow we have become autistic.

We don’t hear the voices.

Thomas Berry

One thought on “…and listening in nature”

From sitting and practicing mindfulness, life has so much more depth below the ego, the cognitive part of our mind. I have found the ego is a barrier to living fully,

The ego, thoughts and emotions are a beach ball floating in the Pacific Ocean, the right side, the expansive side, the true self, the real us.
