Remembering to be grateful, restores the covenant of reciprocity and all living things\u201c<br>I think this is a beautiful teaching. For me&nbsp; it transcends beyond the relationship I have with the earth. It works for me in the relationship I have with food, or money, or my ego. It works for me in the relationships I have with others. In any of those relationships we cant restore what is lost but remembering to be grateful restores the covenant of reciprocity.&nbsp; We mourn the losses and we honor them and then in faith we move on. Perhaps this is the art of healing.<br>So when I am feeling depleted in any of my relationships with people, with the earth, or now my relationship with Covid-19, I have 3 steps I take to try to put my feet on the path to restorative love.&nbsp; 1- I walk slowly. I pay attention. I listen. I center. I try to remember the balance I would want to model to my children. 2- I remember what I am grateful for. I mourn what is lost, and I honor by remembering it in gratitude.&nbsp; 3-&nbsp; I celebrate what I still have and I believe in the power of love to restore the reciprocity.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/s.w.org\/images\/core\/emoji\/15.0.3\/svg\/1f98b.svg\" alt=\"\ud83e\udd8b\" style=\"width:116px;height:auto\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>#butterflybtc<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On my vision quest last summer, our leader Anne Stine taught about the covenant we have with the earth.
