I have a whole new appreciation for the words “going home” after reading this. Thank you, Ellen, for sharing the importance of reconnecting to the land. The images of the placenta and umbilical cord were particularly moving. We have so much to learn.

What a beautiful article Ellen. Thank you for writing it and reminding us of our connection to the land. It is a concern that such a large percentage of people only know urban life and seldom even hold the land in their hands. I am trying to think how I can use your words in my sermon this Sunday. I miss sharing words and space with you. 🙂

Thank you, Ellen, I appreciate your writing, we have much so much to learn, both from you and the land. Last week I discovered the Maori people from New Zealand introduce themselves by naming first the mountain, then the river from which they come. What a beautiful reminder at each introduction. We have truly divorced ourselves from our roots.
