Less heaven, less hell, more luminous reality

Make sustained contact with something undomestic, sacred, and tremendously powerful. Something for the good. Something filled with bone. Fall in love with it. This first covenant supplies energy, rapture, joy… Less heaven, less hell, more luminous reality.”

Martin Shaw, ‘The Age of Bear and Raven. It’s time to rework our relationship with nature.” (Orion Magazine, Summer 2022, July 6, 2022)

  1. The wildlife around our home is often the thing that lifts my spirit when it has been pulled down by the day’s news. Hard not to smile when you watch a doe frolicking with her twin fawns or see an inscrutable alligator glide slowly across the pond. Animals keep me centered.
