"Paul tells us in Romans that from the beginning of the world 'we came to know the invisible nature' of God thru 'the things that have been made.' More recently the verbal & written have taken such precedence that we've become alienated from the revelatory import of the natural world." -Thomas Berry

"In earlier Christian ages the tradition considered there were two revelatory sources - the manifestation of the divine in the natural world and the manifestation of the divine in the Bible. In the 16th C, after the invention of printing, emphasis concentrated on the written form." - Thomas Berry

"The most significant division among humans is between those dedicated to exploit the Earth in a deleterious manner & those dedication to preservation of the Earth in all its natural splendour. We are confronted by 'biocide' & 'geocide', greater evil than anything we have known." - Thomas Berry

"God brought things into being that his goodness might be communicated. Because his goodness could not be represented by one creature alone, he produced many diverse creatures. The whole universe represents the divine goodness better than any single creature." - Thomas Aquinas as per Thomas Berry.

"Appreciating nature is important but it isn't enough. Working to protect nature is good but it isn't enough. Writing a book about nature isn't enough. The only way to grasp the conversation of sacred connection is to fall in love with wild things." - Victoria Loorz, CHURCH OF THE WILD.

In my first #childrenspicturebook HELENA'S VOYAGE (2008), the story ended like this: "And outside her window, the angel's star twinkled and shone its blessing down on the water that flowed through her little harbour out to the mighty ocean and to every corner of the Earth." 1/2 #interfaithclimate

In my children's picture book IF GOD WERE A GREAT BIG BEAR, a child ponders nature & figures God must have made the world to please each & every animal & plant. Which means God made the Earth for all of nature, not just us humans, & it's up to us to protect it. 🐋 🌲 🐿️ 🌍 (Beaming Books - April 1/25).
