wild hearted

Nature and wilderness have so many gifts to enrich ourselves and our lives. At the 2023 Nature Summit over thirty enthusiasts and leaders include us in these important conversations - sharing their experience and expertise so generously.

With crucial questions to address today: 

• What important lessons does nature have to teach us?
• How do we connect with the healing power of the natural world?
• How do we love the Earth, draw inspiration from its beauty and protect it in times of crisis?

We are offered a different alternative. lose the fun flimsy fantasy of certainty and liberate the self from the need to control or predict what matters to us.

Even deconstructing the illusion of self as the individual to make it like a noun - letting go and letting the verb emerge. To be.

We are as an interconnected whole - be how we live in massively connected processes. Inter-connected. Intra-connected.

Freeing ourselves. Letting love emerge. Returning to our true nature.

wonder | wander | world wishes us all a joyous Easter Sunday! This time we have at least 28 substantial eggs in our Easter basket that we are very grateful for. Halleluiah! 

According to some scholars, such as Dr. Tony Nugent, teacher of Theology and Religious Studies at Seattle University, and Presbyterian minister, the Easter story comes from the Sumerian legend of Damuzi (Tammuz) and his wife Inanna (Ishtar), an epic myth called “The Descent of Inanna” found inscribed on cuneiform clay tablets dating back to 2100 BC. 

The Descent of Innana

When Tammuz dies, Ishtar is grief–stricken and follows him to the underworld. In the underworld, she enters through seven gates, and her worldly attire is removed. "Naked and bowed low" she is judged, killed, and then hung on display. In her absence, the earth loses its fertility, crops cease to grow and animals stop reproducing. Unless something is done, all life on earth will end.
