GOOD-centric Love for the Environment

“If we fall in love with creation deeper and deeper, we will respond to its endangerment with passion.”

~ Hildegard von Bingen

Obviously, the environment is something considered worthy of caring for and preserving because we cannot live without maintaining its health. Need is not love and the wise among us know that love is a verb, not just a feeling. GOD-centrics love nature as a manifestation of God. GOOD-centrics love nature as our shared web of life. When she is not throwing an amoral fit, nature loves us back: Scientists have found evidence that being in nature helps reduce anxiety, brooding, and stress and increases our attention capacity, creativity, and our ability to connect with other people. GOOD-centrics would fan the flame of love for nature which fuels acting lovingly on her behalf by regularly spending time in nature:

All nature has a feeling: woods, fields, brooks

Are life eternal: and in silence they

Speak happiness beyond the reach of books;

There's nothing mortal in them; their decay

Is the green life of change; to pass away

And come again in blooms revivified.

Its birth was heaven, eternal it its stay,

And with the sun and moon shall still abide

Beneath their day and night and heaven wide.

~ John Clare
