looking to nature; drawing strength

“I asked the earth, I asked the sea and the deeps, among the living animals, the things that creep. I asked the winds that blow, the heavens, the sun, moon, the stars, and to all things that stand at the doors of my flesh. My question was the gaze I turned to them. Their answer was their beauty.” – Saint Augustine
Affirmative Prayer: Creator God, today I look to nature, and to the nature of my human family, and draw inspiration, strength, and comfort. May the attention I cast their way be a prayer for the well-being of all. We are One. Amen.
– Rev. Scott
