Eco-spirituality is like leaven …

Eco-spirituality, as it has been called, is far from being a type of armchair spirituality. For some, eco-spirituality will mean a “mysticism of service.” For others it will mean a conversion to a simpler style of living. For still others it may mean a contemplative awareness of the beauty and fragility of our planet, and a sense of solidarity with all living and non-living beings. For all of us, a commitment to eco-spirituality is like the leaven that will slowly raise human consciousness in our post-industrial age. In this way we may be able to transmit a truly human quality of life, both interior and external life, to future generations. – Charles Cummins
