To go forward-go back

We need to go back and piece together all the broken stories, myths, and tales that informed our world. We need to go back to celebrating the sun, moon, and planets. We need to go back to the soil, plants, insects,mammals-all creatures and thank them. We need to go back to feeling clean air enter our lungs. And when we sit down to feed our bodies-give thanks. A Buddhist Prayer goes: Many labors brought us this food. We should know how it comes to us. It does matter whose prayer, but slowing down to give thanks is important. Go out and watch the sunset. Go out and watch the sun rise. Go out and celebrate the gift of life and bring it inside with you. Great!
