Sunday Reflection: Forest Bathing
I get to a sense of God by thinking more than feeling, and sometimes that isn't great. I know people who are the other way around-- they sense God much more by feeling and seeing what is around them. I have a lot to learn from them.
The truth is that I have a lot of opportunities to be more that way. I'm fortunate in that I find myself in nature and suffused with beauty pretty regularly, one way or another. I see it and appreciate it, but don't usually connect it to the divine the way others often do. That's something I hope to change about myself as I grow-- I want to have that integrity between the beauty I see and the Creator.
That doesn't mean I'll stop thinking, though.
