My Spirituality of Nature

Synopsis: My life has grown in wholeness with the writing of this book. God shows me more every day about how to connect with my "spirituality of nature." This concept reveals how my spirit (my "core") connects with all of nature--earth (animals, vegetation, microorganisms), water, wind, and fire. My literary contribution looks at, Who is nature? Who am I? And how are we connected? For a very long time, I believed that there were few connections, if any. Through a lifetime of living with God, my spirit has been inspired to look more closely at his creations and what makes them connected. What is my responsibility (if any) in all of this? Over the course of my lifetime, my explorations led to what I name my spirituality of nature. It is my spirit, my core, my belief that leads me to see God as I never have. Not only is one human being related to another, but each of us is related to and responsible for all that God creates. I know beyond all unknowing that God created me to be both unique and to be responsible for his creations. I am part of all that is and all that is me. I invite you to take this phenomenal journey with me. My hope is that we will join together in seeking out God's creations.
