Being rooted means living as if we belong here on this miraculous planet, in a way that nurtures and enriches ourselves while also making sure that other species have the space and resources they need to thrive. It is as natural as growing your own food, as profound as getting to know your neighbors in the community of the land, as joyous as celebrating the seasons. It simply means being aware of where you are and how you live, and your interactions with the other lives with whom you share those landscapes. It's about being simply, lovingly, and graciously human, a full member of Earth's vibrant community.
I'm taking a break from my weekly newspaper columns and podcasts, time to reflect and recharge in this journey we call life. In the meantime, feel free to browse and enjoy the archive!
