In reply to Bridget Holtom. I would love to share with you about experiencing unspoken communication - lately with animals and trees, but also with people, on precious and rare occasions. Maybe we can talk in Cumbria?

I love how you use Love and God and Life interchangeably and have found company and community in Celtic Christianity. I wonder when you say you are feeling more connected to nature and “communicate with other created beings, just through my spirit” what you mean by this? Do you speak aloud to the world? To plant beings? Do you sit with them and listen? I’m curious and would Iove to listen to your thoughts on this. See you tonight on screen, Bridget

Yes, it is love’s nature to create and to procreate but it is not everyone’s calling to do so. I would add ‘nurture’ as one of the fundamental acts of love, both for the gardener who takes seedlings and shelters them until they are strong enough to be planted outside and for all those who nurture people who are not their own flesh and blood but likely feel that they might as well be so. Similarly, some are called to be creative in finding solutions to the wounds that we have caused our earth – but the majority of us will be its nurturers and protectors rather than co-creators. Now, please excuse me… I have to (rather guiltily) go and commit a few small acts of herbicide on my lawn before the buttercups take over completely; dandelions are, of course, allowed to grow freely and rarely stay uneaten for very long.
