I am immensely proud of my sculptor niece Anna Gillespie, who has been long involved with Extinction Rebellion and who created the image of Mother Earth that was carried on the Bier at the Funeral for Nature.
Illuminating and helpful. After last year's Living Waters course, I have been researching to create a satisfactory water ritual, but especially to compose it with meaningful elements. I found out that my feet start relating to the water as I start walking to get to it. Thus I let them meditate for me rather than involve my mind. Of course now I understand better the sense of religious processions: the actions of walking (feet relating to the destination through the soil under them) goes naturally with the action of singing, which is of course why in peace and in war that is precisely what has always been done by people.
