My blessings are not the beginning, though. They are an intermediate step. I have to ensure that others love and care for the Land too. I have to act. My hope is that I'm raising my kids to listen, to engage with, to value the Land and the Other Than Humans with whom we share our home.http://wp.production.patheos.com/blogs/awitchsashram/files/2014/11/IMG_20141113_094410175-168x300.jpg
