Just read the intro to one of my creation textbooks... sobering. I really don't know a lot about the place I live sadly. I'm not too stressed about it, but I would like to be more present and thankful and I think understanding and appreciating you place would help.
What is your ecological perception of place? they ask
-What is the soil like?
-What are five agricultural plants in your region?
-What geological events or processes have influence the land where you live?
-What confluence of water and wind?
-What trees live where you do?
-What about birds, resident or migratory?
-What raptors roam the skies above your house?
-What flowers bloom where you live?
-What animals share your place?
-How many days until the moon is full?
-What kind of moon is it?
-Were the stars out last night?
-Which constellations can you see?
-From where you are, which way is north?
-From what direction do the prevailing winds blow?
-From where does your water come?
-To where does your garbage go?
