One of my seminary classmates, the Rev. Norm Esdon has started up a website which features both poetry and photographs, inviting us to consider the fullness of this grounded, "earthed" life which God has given us. I had a lively elderly parishioner years ago who wore a button saying Life is Not a Dress Rehearsal! I think Norm would agree, that whatever we believe about the life to come we are intended to savour and enjoy this life, and as we do so honour creation.
Norm was an ardent "Earth Honourer" long before it was popular and has expressed his faith through photos and poems for decades. He is posting couplets of a poem and a photograph twice a month.
Snoop around the website and share your thoughts.: http://www.earthasholyground.com/
Thanks, David, for the post and the link. I'd be very pleased if some of your readers found something to inspire and encourage them as they relate to the Earth as Holy Ground.
