Creation Sings: Forty Days of Spiritual Wisdom from the Non-Human World
Resilient and innovative, Nature moves forward with the energy of Creative Love—even as humankind attempts to divorce ourselves from Earth on which we depend. We are kin to the krill, kangaroos, fireflies, pangolin, and all the natural world. The ancients knew this. So do our young children and grandchildren. But too many of us have forgotten.
Could it be that Earth itself is the Body of Christ writ large? That the mycelial networks beneath our feet are teaching us how to live in harmony again?
Could the forest—silent, breathing, radiant—be a prophet? Could Gaia, the Great Mother, have what human beings need to heal?
In this book’s meditations, Bruce Epperly invites you to pause. . . and then be transformed by the daily spiritual messages from the natural world. Link hands with all Creation in a song of planetary healing. Join the march toward eco-justice. Become the Spirit’s companion in the ongoing work of inner and outer peace.
