Discuss: Down with Descartes

On the relationship between Christianity and the Creation, see Wendell Berry, for example: http://www.crosscurrents.org/berry.htm

Also recommend the final essay in his book The Gift of Good Land.

And, Grist recently listed “15 Green Religious Leaders,” several from various Christian sects…

For all our generations of labouring under the delusions of Cartesian dualism, becoming ever more fractured and dis-eased by our conceptual fragmentation, the fact remains that we ARE, and always have been, an integral part of life on Earth. It’s tempting to suggest that it’s still our extraordinary hubris and species chauvanism that remains firmly in the driving seat of even the most passionate advocate for a more ecological, holistic and non-linear viewpoint on existence. If we are merely cells in the body of the Earth, responding to the evolutionary imperative of the planet as an integrated life-system, then we are doing no more than playing our allotted part.

I am life.
I am beauty in the deep of noon, Mountain mirroring in water blue.
I whistle birdly in the after-even, When the tender core
Of my human part
Listens in wonderment.
I am life, and the earth sees me
Sunsetting and sunrising
And dangling a moon-jewel round her.
And the earth loves me
And is me.
The human loves me and might be me.
But loves, more than me,
The thought of me
And the dream of me,
Which is not what I am,
For I am not dreaming.
I am heavening and earthing
And treeing & clouding & humaning,
But I am not dreaming,
And I am not imaging me
Other than I AM.
Be true O Man,
O Woman be true,
And I shall be your truth.
Be lovely, child of God,
And I shall be your love.
For I am life,
And I am you,
And I am all.
