For some, the simple act of being outdoors is a spiritual experience. Those who have a respect and deep reverence for nature view it as a source of wisdom and healing and find purpose in the understanding that we are but single threads in the much larger web of life. In this way, the world is a sanctuary where people can commune with their personal interpretations of the divine. They gain appreciation for gestures of mindfulness, reciprocity, sustainability, and consideration. Writers take this one step further by giving voice to their own sacred relationships and inviting readers to join.
