Reflection

“Harmony with land is like harmony with a friend; you cannot cherish his right hand and chop off his left.”–Aldo Leopold

Prayer

Creator God,

As we answer your call to steward creation wisely, help us lean into the principle of harmony and let it serve as a guide for all our ambitions. Help us avoid short-sighted pursuits that fail to respect the interconnectedness of all things. Instead, may we expand our perspectives and learn to cooperate better across the globe, so that we might more effectively bring good help to the world. In search of greater harmony with all your creatures, the land and the sea, we pray. Amen.

Call to Action

Reflect today on the way I do or do not live in harmony with the land upon which I dwell. Take at least one step in a more harmonious direction.
