An ending…and a beginning

After seven years, I am drawing This Lively Earth to a close. I have started a new blog called Nature :: Spirit, where I will continue some nature spirituality threads begun here and introduce others. The first post explains why the new blog.

Nature :: Spirit will be a place to try out the possibility that matter and spirit are not as split as Western societies like to think—that reality is more unified than most modern people give it credit for.

Please come join me at Nature :: Spirit. Your subscription from This Lively Earth will not carry over, so if you’d like to receive posts in your inbox, please sign up here.

See you at Nature :: Spirit!
