Hello here is today’s quote, it comes from a book titled Sacred Nature. The photo is of a leaf after some rain.

January 28

“By rationalizing nature and confining God to the heavens, we have so drastically reduced the divine that for many it has become either incredible or imperceptible. . . By forcing the natural world to upgrade our lives and failing to see it’s essential holiness, we have damaged it perhaps irreparably, and, by excluding a reverence for nature from our conception of the divine, we have developed an unnatural perception of God. . . Like Job, we must learn to appreciate its mystery and cry Holy! Holy! Holy!

- Karen Armstrong

Thoughts: People cannot harm others when deeply aware of the sacredness of all life. It is just not possible when we revere life and experience it as the divine in action and practice. Blessings ♥️
