…No religion except whatever Mary Oliver had going on.
Notes:
- Quote: Monkcore.
- T-Shirt: Online Ceramics
- Inspired by: “Oh, good scholar, I say to myself, how can you help but grow wise with such teachings as these— the untrimmable light of the world, the ocean’s shine, the prayers that are made out of grass?” — Mary Oliver, from “Mindful” in “Why I Wake Early” (via Alive on All Channels)

Your share reminded me of another share of yours…from 9/17/17 You said:
“I urge you to listen to Krista Tippett’s entire 51 minute interview with Gordon Hempton where the conversation is sprinkled with Hempton’s nature recordings. Hempton is an acoustic ecologist, a collector of sound all over the world. You can find the entire transcript and audio recording here: “Silence and the Presence of Everything.”

and this is one section …a nice passage:
“I really can’t say that I’m religious today, although I am spiritual. I don’t go to church that’s inside of buildings, but I do go to church that’s outside. My favorite church of all is what I call the “Cathedral of the Hoh Rain Forest at Olympic National Park.” It has the world’s tallest trees, over 300 feet high, and it’s there that the least amount of noise pollution intrudes of anywhere else in the United States. […] ”

beautiful – but hasn’t, in the end (respectively beginning) God created all nature? Where does the religion come in then?

Perhaps. It is all of what is between Him and us, the organizations, the power, the hypocrisy.
