​How is it that both this powerful sweetgum tree and this very rare & humble Lewis' Heartleaf community can thrive together?
--A lesson for humanity from the natural world. (Larry Petrovick)
Be listening.
Be listening to the stars in the heavens and the sun and the moon.
be listening to the mountains and the plains.
Be listening to the forests and rivers and seas that surround us.
Be listening to the meadows and the flowering grasses.
Be listening to the song birds and the insects and to their music,
especially in the evening and the early hours of the night.
We need to experience, to feel and to see:
These myriad creatures are all caught up in the celebration of life.
​
Every particle of the universe tells the story in its own context.
It's a kind of symphonic process.

and the Fate of the Earth.
