"Eco Blogging Awareness..."




The 15th of October has been pronounced as 'Blog Action Day'...
This gives all Bloggers a common forum for raising awareness through an Eco-Blogging post...
I strongly support this as the most important, key theme, of these small Summit Stones is about 'giving back' and 'passing forward' as this relates to our natural world and wild places...
Historically... 'Eco'... has meant 'household', 'oeco', in Latin... and 'house' or 'home', 'oikos', in Greek...
Currently... 'Eco'... is defined more about living things and their relationship to the environment... I particularly relate to the perspective of our environment as a home for us all and especially in believing that this is a 'relationship' between each of us and our natural world...
For my post, I am reflecting today on one of my favorite quotes, by Stephen Lyman, where he wrote:
"To the Four Legged Ones, who know wilderness as home and teach us how to live there; To the Winged Ones who see the larger picture from above... To the Plant People, who live the bloom of life constantly; to miraculous Water, who keeps life flowing... To the Stone People, who ground life with ancient wisdom and mountains of beauty; to the Earth, who holds and nurtures us all."
I wanted to also Link here to my past post of "Just One Thing" http://summitstonesadventuremusings.blogspot.com/2006/12/just-one-thing.html
which speaks to this day and for ongoing efforts to sustain our relationship to our wild lands...
