How aware are we of the ground we stand on:
its layers?
its movements?
its composition?
how it has changed over time?
I am not thinking only of earth but of other places or institutions or states or systems in which we are 'grounded'. Such as:
our belief systems?
our cultural and traditional practices?
our philosophies?
the methods we use to 'grow' our young people?
All these, and many more, require us to be alert and attentive and responsive.
May we be attentive today to the ground upon which our lives are developing.
