“If you need something to worship, then worship life — all life, every last crawling bit of it! We're all in this beauty together!” ~Frank Herbert

“You carry Mother Earth within you. She is not outside of you. Mother Earth is not just your environment. In that insight of inter-being, it is possible to have real communication with the Earth, which is the highest form of prayer. In that kind of relationship you have enough love, strength and awakening in order to change your life." ~Thich Nhat Hanh

“It is strange how few people make more than a casual cult of enjoying nature. And yet the Earth is actually and literally the mother of us all. One needs no strange spiritual faith to worship the Earth.” ~John Cowper Powys

Even the tiniest habits can spark a positive impact in our lives — and inspire those around us to do the same.

I first read of Viktor Frankl in Steven Coveys best seller “7 habits of highly effective people” in 2009

Viktor was in the concentration camps and seen things ‘so repulsive hard to put into words’-
In the extermination camps, He said he found this space and realized he actually had more power as a prisoner than the N**i guards in the camp-
So 14 yrs since I read it and have yet to properly cultivate this space myself
