Listen First

The practice of grieving the Earth equips us to hold our human distance and creaturely intimacy in tension, resisting the desire to control or abuse while acknowledging that we are responsible: both in destruction and in participating in Christ’s work of healing. And it holds these tensions in the constant call to prayer, teaching us to listen before we try to sing.

- Hannah Malcolm, Grieving the Earth as Prayer

Spend some time journaling and praying through how we can listen to God, and God's invitation to be active participants in healing our earth.
