Reflections and Shadows - Nature's Healing Power - Deep Ecology
I wrote yesterday of Stephanie Sorrell's new book Psychosynthesis Made Easy, and in particular her thoughts on the healing power of nature. Here are some beautiful scenes photographed this last weekend. We must ensure that our children are brought up to see, appreciate and love the natural world, to understand their fragile interconnections with it, to appreciate the Deep Ecology of the late Norwegian Arne Naess - all life forms are integral, part of a living web, all supporting each other, a spiritual philosophy, Stephanie reminds us, that engages all life, much like Buddhism.
