recovering life.

"The recovery of the now enables us to celebrate life where it is and encounter the mystery of each present moment. The recovery of our body enables us to live it as the sacrament of divine presence in the world. The recovery of nature is linked also with this awareness of sacramentality and comes to encompass the mountains and rivers, the great wide Earth. We are enabled to hear the cries of Earth, wounded and in pain, as our very own woundedness and pain. The recovery of our shadow allows us to face the evil in the world with courage and equanimity and take responsibility for it. And the recovery of the feminine is realized as we let go of that part of us that wants to control and dominate and exploit and, instead, allow cosmic compassion to work in our being. Unleashing this cosmic compassion is what effects our own healing and is likewise what empowers us to participate in tasks of healing Earth."
