Including the Earth in Our Prayers tells a story of love and prayer,
how spiritual practice is not just for ourselves, our own journey, but
for life itself. It steps back to reclaim the wisdom of our ancestors,
including the "Original Instructions" of Indigenous peoples--how we need
to "get along" with all of creation--and relates these teachings to the
need of our present time. With our ecosystem in crisis and our culture
increasingly divisive, it suggests ways in which the energy and
transformative potential of our spiritual nature can be applied to these
critical issues, and reconnects us with a spiritual understanding of the
living Earth.
The simple premise of this book is that there is a vital need to shift
our collective culture from a story of separation and exploitation into
a new story of living oneness, and that spiritual practice, and the love
and light it generates, have an essential part to play in this shift.
