One of the most healing things we can do during times of upheaval is to get close to nature. No matter what happens in the world around us, the cycles and rhythms of the natural world remain unbroken. The sun still rises every morning, the stars shine at night, the ocean tides ebb and flow, the seasons follow one another through the turning of the year. Upon that solid ground we build our lives, reinforce our link to the rhythms of nature and find renewed strength.
