The Intersection of Nature and Spirituality: What Does it Offer?

The grace, stillness, and beauty of the trees and oceans offer so much peace

May all I say and all I think
be in harmony with thee,
God within me,
God beyond me,
maker of the trees.
— Chinook prayer, Pacific Northwest Coast, USA

Think about how trees teach you the importance of living in community — a divine mystery and sacred unity of all beings. How they stand next to each other and gently sway with a breeze.

There is so much that nature offers for your spirituality.

But now ask the animals and they will teach you, or the birds of the sky and they will tell you, or speak to the earth and it will teach you, or the fish of the sea and they will inform you.

— Job 12:7, 8 TLV
