Connecting To The Earth

A large part of  connecting to the earth is learning to listen.
We may begin this process by committing to thirty days or evenings of sitting outdoors. Simply sit there quietly without any other distractions for 15 minutes to half an hour, and watch the world unfold around you, letting nature speak to you.
