you who, by constantly shattering our mental categories, force us to go ever further
and further in our pursuit of the truth.”…Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
“By all accounts we are living in a deep cultural trance, unaware of the widespread pathology that has deeply infected us. We have unleashed a vast devastation on the physical body of the Earth. Species are dying at an hourly rate, more than an acre of rain forest is destroyed each minute, and precious, absolutely irreplaceable topsoil is being washed into the sea, along with tons of pesticides everywhere in the world. .. We pretend that someone sometime will solve the problem for us.”
The above is an excerpt from the Introduction page of Earth Story, Sacred Story by James Conlon. Although this book was written in 1994 and environmental awareness is more in the forefront, much of what is addressed in this book is still of supreme importance. Each chapter of the book concludes with a relevant topic for meditation and subsequent questions to ponder and motivate change.
Although this is repetitive and trite at best, if each of us took some small step towards committing to renewing, nurturing and caring for the planet and the life held therein, what monumental course of change could this lead to. We as a human species are driven by model and example, so what legacy of example are we creating. What model of sustainability are we setting and most importantly what degree of responsibility are we willing to assume towards an evolution of harmonious, healthful co-existence?
The Pause Between

Swirlings of thought and idea
Mind and heart intertwining
As I sit in the space of Silence
Pause of time- halting of breath
As I sit in the space of Silence
the sounds of the Universe flow
through my being
And, as I sit in the space of Silence
Mind and word collide
The first utterance gives birth
Once again – I sit in the space of
SILENCE…
Listen to the Silent pause of the day… how will you choose to fill the space between?
