To celebrate the fiftieth Earth Day, Terry carried a drum, a tripod and some recording equipment as he climbed to the top of a nearby hill and offered a prayer.

Earth Day 2020 arrives at a time when our world has finally mobilized, but not to save the Living Earth — to save ourselves, as if we were separate from the larger body of Life. So it is a time for humble prayer, and reflection. We hope this week's special episode helps your heart breathe and allows you to embrace this wild, tender moment, this time for both grief and gratitude, and for wonder, Grace, and tremendous grit.
