Description/excerpt (included in message):
[excerpt] Somewhere in his essays about the ecological crises of crises of our time, I remember Wendell Berry writing, ``what we do not love, we will not save.`` One of the many possible implications that I draw from his statement is that the eco-spiritual life is breath-like: the more we want to reach out to nurture the web of life (and save our own species along the way), the more deeply we will need to journey into our own hearts to connect with love's sustaining energy.
