God in and as Natureby Liza Kerr, RScP Today I am basking in the energy recharge I got from camping/hiking in the Pecos Wilderness at Jack’s Creek. When I close my eyes, I can remember how it felt to breathe in that cool mountain air and fill my lungs with the great oxygenation that I feel when I am in the wilderness. There is nothing quite like it. One of my friends told me that …
We Are Who Is Godby Liza Kerr, RScP The mountains are calling and I must go…John Muir Whenever I venture out into the wilderness and explore, hike, camp, laugh and have fun something extraordinary happens.

In no time at all the myriads of things that I had been …
Let Nature Lead the Wayby Yvette Trujillo, RScP It’s the start of a new year with the usual pressures to be your best self and strive to be more than you’ve ever been before.

My Life is Filled with Blessingsby Alicia Kay HanlenPractitioner EmeritusTaos Study Group As I focus my breath on my core being, I am filled with the sense of Spirit surrounding and enfolding me in its Infinite Peace and Beauty.

Natureby Rev. Karen Linsley, M.A., Interim Minister As I sit here contemplating tomorrow’s topic of nature and my relationship with It, I also know that I cannot have a relationship with anyone or anything else that does not reflect my relationship with myself. And so it gives me great comfort to look out at nature and see beauty. It gives me great comfort to look out at nature and feel peace, as if all is …
