"By transforming our consciousness we participate in the transformation of the world."
- Robert Thurman
Follow the Sun
In February, it becomes very obvious that the sun comes up a little earlier and sets minutes later each day. This movement brings a sense of anticipation of the springtime to come. These transition times – morning and evening - are sacred moments as Thomas Berry reminds us:
"In most religious traditions, diurnal moments of transformation, dawn and dusk, the mysterious transition from day to night and from night to day, are profoundly religious moments to be observed with appropriate prayer and ritual."
We invite you to turn your attention each morning and evening to the passage of the sun, and allow these moments to deepen your connection to the natural world and to the Giver of these precious daily gifts.
May these moments also be a reminder of the great transition time on our planet as we move from an extractive economy to a sustainable one, from a utilitarian ecology to a reverential one. This, too, is a sacred moment!
As always, we invite you to join us at La Vista for our upcoming programs!
