The interconnectedness of all things is never more truly described than in the Jane Goodall quotation that I've begun signing my emails with: “What you do makes a difference, and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make." Because we are interconnected, everything that we do has an impact, and if everyone could sincerely embrace that connection, we'd have no more wars, no more pollution, no more animal abuse, no more violence...and the list goes on. As for my own feeling of connectedness to nature, three experiences stand out in my mind. One, when in the Smoky Mountains I stood still next to a tree and pretended to be that tree, weathering all storms and all seasons. I sincerely felt that I could stand there forever. Two, when in the Rocky Mountains, I sat looking at the profound stillness and silence of the surrounding rocks and cliffs, and again, feeling that I could sit there in awe for the rest of my life. And three, when I walked to the center of the walkway over the water of the large tidal creek behind our home in the South Carolina Lowcountry and stretched out my arms in the sunlight, in that moment I felt as much a part of nature as the trees on the bank, the water beneath my feet, and the sun in the sky. And it was all meant to be. Thanks for this. I'm eager to listen to the podcast.
I’ve been traveling the world for the past two months on a sabbatical and much of my journey has involved spending time in nature, meeting with people in local communities, breaking bread with people I’ve just met and spending time with old friends. Through it all I marvel at the majesty of our world. The artistry of creation, how everything is connected, the strange synchronicities that have shown up in my journey to remind me that there is a power beyond our comprehension and the kindness of strangers. Humanity is struggling to find its way back to oneness to nature, to our true self. I do not take anything for granted. I feel blessed to be a member of this human family. Every part of the work you are doing resonates with me. I love you all for the love you are putting out in the world. We need it now more that ever. The love and reminder that we are all one. 🙏🏾🤎
Cant wait to hear! I've been a fan of what these guys are doing for many years now and actually was hoping to launch my own podcast by speaking to them first. Really excited for this one. (I say that every time.)

It feels like comfort through chaos.
