Reflection

“There is something infinitely healing in the repeated refrains of nature – the assurance that dawn comes after night, and spring after winter.” –Rachel Carson

Prayer

Loving God,

Help us to remain open and teachable to the rhythms of your creation, for we are your creatures, designed in your goodness, and play an integral part within the whole network of life sustained by your love and attention. Let our gratitude for the changing of the seasons and the movement of the sun comfort us, as we remember that you are changing us as well, from the inside out, from darkness to light, through sorrow to healing and help for others. Amen.

Call to Action

Find a few minutes at least, simply to rest in the rhythm of nature and be assured.
