A Walk in the Park
Take a walk in the park and notice all the life around
you, from the birds in the air to the insects at your
feet, every leaf and blade of grass between your toes.
Let the sun shine on your face and breathe in the fresh
air. You share the air and the sunlight with everything
in the park.
There’s
a fee we pay to be a part of this web of life. Unless
you’re a plant, being alive means taking life, too.
If this makes you feel guilty, that's okay. Be grateful
for your guilt, because it implies not only a responsibility,
but also a connectedness to the world around you. In the
great big park we all call home, none of us are alone.
