Is the exploration of the natural world just a pleasant way
to pass the golden hours of childhood or is there something
deeper? I am sure there is something much deeper,
something lasting and significant. Those who dwell, as
scientists or laymen, among the beauties and mysteries
of the earth are never alone or weary of life. Whatever the
vexations or concerns of their personal lives, their thoughts
can find paths that lead to inner contentment and to renewed
excitement in living.…There is symbolic as well as actual
beauty in the migration of the birds, the ebb and flow of the
tides, the folded bud ready for the spring. There is something
infinitely healing in the repeated refrains of nature – the
assurance that dawn comes after night, and spring after
the winter.
- Rachel Carson
*****
CLOSING THOUGHT - Desmond Tutu
Never, never let anyone tell you that what you are doing is
insignificant. Let them know that the sea is made up of drops
of water. There is no way in which injustice can ever prevail
over goodness.

Manifest is a series of small books that address
the important topics and issues of our time,
written by activists, philosophers, scholars,
and artists. Intended as insight guides for
those on journeys of discovery, hope, faith,
resilience, and regeneration, they speak truth.
The first 4 books and author bios in the
Manifest Series are presented here -
"The Pursuit of Virtue"
Lombardo maps out the journey toward virtue
and wisdom using key visionaries as navigators
and outlines the personal steps necessary to aid
us in discovering our individual wisdom narrative.
This tool is one that propels us forward, inspiring
us to live the truly engaged life, rather than be in
the backseat of our own existence. In this way,
we can actively create the future we all dream of.
Author Bio: Thomas Lombardo
Thomas Lombardo, Ph.D., is an award-winning
futurist, psychologist and educator with more
than 40 years of expertise in the field of
consciousness, wisdom, and futurist thought.
Thomas is a graduate fellow of Cornell University,
a graduate of the University of Connecticut and
University of Minnesota. He lives in Glendale,
Arizona

"For Everything a Season"
The pursuit of wealth and power no longer
sustains us. "Our economy has been built on
the heavy-handed use of natural resources,
and even though nature has magnificent
recuperative powers, the recovery is unlikely
to match the beauty and the wholeness of the
original environment."
With this truth laid bare, cultural geographer
Warren Johnson offers up a new path to deep
inner prosperity based on one of the oldest most
successful concepts - the Golden Rule.
Author Bio: Warren Johnson
Warren Johnson, PhD, is Professor Emeritus and
former chairman of the Geography Department at
San Diego State University. A geographer, educator,
and bestselling author, he has a profound appreciation
for the land, which led him to publish his 1978
bestselling book Muddling Toward Frugality.
This book secured Warren’s place as among the first
to advocate sustainability in the midst of a frenzied
materialistic world. Warren’s life-long fascination with
sustainability began with his PhD where he examined
the influence of medieval thinking on the development
of the British National Parks system. Warren lives an
ecologically and spiritually balanced life at his home
in Northern California.

"The Voice of the Galilean"
"What will be will be" is a proverb for laziness. "What
will be" is the result of the choices we make and the
actions we take. Jesus lived and taught this lesson.
How we act to our neighbour, our enemy, to the
unfortunate, to the earth itself, measures our humanity.
Jesus encouraged his audience to wake up. Witness
yourself. Witness what is before your eyes.
Be as a child, alive with wonder and natural generosity.
Jesus had faith in humanity, and this knowledge bolsters
my faith in humanity. It may take a miracle, or a complete
disaster, but perhaps humankind can rediscover simple
living, common decency, everyday compassion and
reverence for the earth.
The Voice of the Galilean is one of the most clear,
compelling, and concise tellings of the life and
teachings of Jesus ever written
Author Bio Rex Weyler
Besides his book The Jesus Sayings: The Quest
for His Authentic Message, Rex Weyler is the critically
acclaimed author of Blood of the Land, which was
nominated for a Pulitzer Prize, and Greenpeace.
The Inside Story, was a finalist for the Shaughnessy
Cohen Award for Political Non-Fiction, the Hubert
Evans Award for Non-Fiction, and was named one
of the best books of 2004 by the Ottawa Citizen,
Halifax Public Libraries, Publisher’s Weekly, and the
Seattle Post-Intelligencer. He is also the co-author
of the self-help classic Chop Wood, Carry Water: A
Guide to Finding Spiritual Fulfillment in Everyday Life.
His photography and essays have appeared in such
publications as the New York Times, Smithsonian,
Rolling Stone, New Age Journal, and National
Geographic. He lives in Vancouver, BC.

"In the Face of Fear"
In today's click-happy world, humour all too often
strikes at the heart of the other. It's about laughing
at another's expense, guffawing in superiority, and
generally casting our eye on other people's failings.
Walter G. Moss reminds us that this social habit is
a long way from what humour once was - a method
to maintain perspective, and to look at the world in
such a way that we can overcome whatever hits us.
Life can be funny - not just other people's lives, but
our own lives. Moss says this very ability is a sign of
both maturity and of wisdom. When we laugh at
ourselves, all the world can laugh with us.
Author bio Walter G. Moss
Walter G. Moss, Ph.D., is a professor emeritus of
the History and Philosophy department at Eastern
Michigan University where he specialized in Russian
Studies. Raised as a blue-collar Catholic in Ohio,
Walter pursued both religious and philosophical inquiry
with vigour, and today he labels himself a “deist-leaning
agnostic.” His passion for wisdom regardless of origin
catapulted him into becoming a multi-faceted, prolific
writer whose work has appeared in both North America
and in Russia.
He’s amplified the work of 20th-century luminaries
Dorothy Day, Thomas Merton, and E. F. Schumacher.

My Thoughts
What connects all four of the writers of these books
in The Manifest Series is that they are seniors, and
have accumulated a lifetime of experience, wisdom
in living, as well as in their respective careers.
Each book in this series is a gem, written from various
spiritual perspectives. They invite mature consideration
from religious person or not.
Because of the small size of each volume, each serves as
an ideal beside table reading or any other favourite place
for quiet, undistracted reflection.
Woodlake has done something unique in the publication
of this series. It allows for package, as well as individual
purchase in hardcopy and electronic editions.
I look forward to going further into each volume during
the next months, and hope you might consider doing
the same.

WISDOM OF THE WEEK
Provided by Sojourners and the Bruderhof online:
Together we can walk boldly toward a vision of a more
inclusive and equitable future, one in which there are
no more "others" — one in which there is a place for
all of our beloved communities.
- Deepa Iyer
--
The most fulfilled people are the ones who get up every
morning and stand for something larger than themselves.
They are the people who care about others, who will
extend a helping hand to someone in need or will speak
up about an injustice when they see it.
- Wilma Mankiller
--
The God we yearn to know more deeply is the God of
Jesus, the God of the prophets, the God of the two
testaments —a gracious, loving Creator, a God of
shalom and justice, a God who intervenes in our history,
who shatters the weapons of war and foils the power of
nations and empires.
- Will O'Brien, Be Still and Know
--
Only the obedient believe. If we are to believe, we must
obey a concrete command. Without this preliminary step
of obedience, our faith will only be pious humbug, and
lead us to the grace which is not costly. Everything
depends on the first step. It has a unique quality of
its own. The first step of obedience makes Peter leave
his nets, and later get out of the ship; it calls upon the
young man to leave his riches. Only this new existence,
created through obedience, can make faith possible.
- Dietrich Bonhoeffer
--
Where does Jesus send us? There are no borders,
no limits: he sends us to everyone. The gospel is for
everyone, not just for some. It is not only for those
who seem closer to us, more receptive, more
welcoming. It is for everyone. Do not be afraid to
go and to bring Christ into every area of life, to the
fringes of society, even to those who seem farthest
away, most indifferent. The Lord seeks all – he wants
everyone to feel the warmth of his mercy and his love.
- Pope Francis

Because children have abounding vitality, because they
are in spirit fierce and free, therefore they want things
repeated and unchanged. They always say, “Do it again”;
and the grown-up person does it again until he is nearly
dead. For grown-up people are not strong enough to exult
in monotony. But perhaps God is strong enough to exult
in monotony. It is possible that God says every morning,
“Do it again” to the sun; and every evening, “Do it again”
to the moon. It may not be automatic necessity that
makes all daisies alike; it may be that God makes every
daisy separately, but has never got tired of making them.
It may be that he has the eternal appetite of infancy; for
we have sinned and grown old, and our Father is younger
than we.
