Resurrection
Taken from the Latin 'resurgere' - to rise again, the word resurrection seems appropriate to use in re-opening this blog after a long 'postless' period. The fact that I'm doing so at Easter, the traditional time to reflect on 'resurrection' seems fitting, in this period of growth, spring flowers and longer days (at least in this hemisphere!).
So the intention will be to have regular updates, share ideas on the role of nature, mindfulness and ecotherapy, and to celebrate the world around us.
With worldwide concerns about conflict, finance and environmental problems; local issues about community, sustainability and services; personal and family communication and caring, it is easy to become overwhelmed. Having access to our natural environment is critical in being able to have a perspective that brings you into the moment, allows you to appreciate the small things as well as the big.
Get outdoors, see the 'big view', appreciate the world around you. Rise Again.
