Humankind, being a part of the entire web of life, owes its existence and its quality of life to how it reads and heeds the signs of the natural world. Paying attention to the approach of a violent storm and decidng what action to take. Or knowing the optimum time for planting crops for harvest. These are just two examples of crucial readings of the natural world.
Individuals and humanity have survived and thrived by being aware and in tune with the surrounding environment. How seriously, quickly, and steadfastly our world civilizations become comfortable in living interdependently within this world ecology.
Let's start at the beginning! Discernment is a key element to figuring out to use our awareness to create healthful living. Discernment is all about being whoever you are. It is not simply figuring out how to resist what is destrucutive to one's living. Discernment is coming to believe the wonder of wonders - that we are loved for who we are, not for what we achieve.
We were created good - all of us. As Parker Palmer says "truth that was seeded in the earth when each of us arrived here" The clue lies in the assurance that you are nothing less than a good seed planted by a river of water.
