The Soul of the World

Pollution is killing nine million people a year, a review has found, making it responsible for one in six of all deaths. The Lancet Planetary Health report said toxic air and contaminated water and soil “is an existential threat to human and planetary health.” More than 90 percent of pollution deaths occur in low- and middle-income countries.
“See your own soul given back to you in the soul of everything. Connected in this way, we no longer live in a disenchanted Universe. We could never have poured pollutants into rivers or filled the earth with garbage if we had experienced the soul of the world.” – Richard Rohr
Affirmative prayer: Today, my spiritual practice includes reverence for the earth, for my companions as divine beings, and for myself as an expression of Spirit. I am called by the Divine to be a mid-wife to my brothers and sisters and to the planet. Thank you, God, forever. Amen.
