The Time That’s In It….
Wednesday night – half past 12 - I was up and looking out of the window. The sky was a pure, deep, black with many bright, clear, sharp stars.
Then I was up again at 7, and the Moon was over Wideford Hill, peeking through a gap in the clouds, making a ‘moon-spot’ on the sea.
The things we see through our windows.
And in between I’d dreamt about old friends.
It’s the time that’s in it.

“The Radical Intimacy of Spiritual Ecology
A Talk by Emmanuel Vaughan-Lee
As the new year unfolds and our society travels deeper into a realm of toxicity and instability, I find myself increasingly returning to the essence of our relationship with the living, breathing Earth as a space to find ground amid uncertainty. Like oneness and multiplicity, that essence is part of the whole while also being a unique experience. This relationship is so individual and intimate that it is as much a part of us as our own breath, and we must each find our own way to honor it.
In November, I gave a talk at St. Ethelburga’s Centre for Reconciliation and Peace in London—part of a series given over the last two years on the theme of spiritual ecology. This talk is about how an embodied practice of spiritual ecology is a radical act amid a culture that has forgotten the sacred nature of our relationship with the Earth. It’s clear that we can no longer wait for our systems and institutions to lead the way. Instead, my belief is that it’s the spiritual responsibility of our time for each of us to awaken a primordial memory of the Earth as a divine being imbued with spirit. When our hearts recognize and hold this reality, we can begin the journey of remembering what it means to embody this relationship; of keeping an essential connection alive through our darkening days; and offering a practice of love to the Earth in the midst of Her suffering. As we each engage in our own spiritual ecology, a bridge between this moment and the future we know is possible can begin to form.

So completely mixed with you, I may look separate.
So out in the open, I appear hidden.
So silent, because I am constantly talking with you.”
