So if we’re not going to destroy nature and wipe it out of existence, why would we go through the effort it takes to incorporate a co-creative partnership into our lives? Because any effort we put out toward nature is, first and foremost, not to save nature. It's to save ourselves.
— Machaelle Wright, The Perelandra Garden Workbook, Chapter 23: Final Thoughts
In 2012, after more than 35 years of research and teaching all of us how to incorporate nature in our lives through an equal, powerful partnership, Machaelle wrote those words.
Today, as the world around us appears to be devolving into deeper troubles, we want to share Machaelle’s perspective and encourage you to take 15 minutes out for quiet reading. Consider why it is essential we each develop a conscious partnership with nature in our lives. This is to give you a path forward. To give you hope and help.
Keep in mind as you read this — when Machaelle refers to the state of our environment, we’ve travelled 13 more years down that road. We have no more time to waste.
So, make a cup of tea and settle in for some wise words of inspiration.
