Nature is one of the most resplendent and consistent sources of generosity and inspiration in our lives. And yet, we are also living in times when the sources of our most profound inspiration in the natural world are under threat from humanity’s legacy of choices. Grateful Living invites us into an active relationship with the natural world, engaging in our lives in ways that more deeply appreciate, learn from, protect, and sustain that which we treasure most.
May this curated collection of poetry, audio, videos, essays, and more deepen your connection to — and your place within — the natural world.
