• W4379791921 abstract "My Life Being Green: An Eco‐Theology Kate Green Our lives follow the seasons and cycles of nature, of God's creation. And we connect with each other through the stories of our lives that we share with each other—lives that follow the rhythms and cycles of the natural world. At a conference I attended recently, I was struck by a religious scholar's reference to God as Gardener in Genesis. God creates the heaven and earth… divides light from darkness… makes the firmament and divides the waters. And the story gets even better. God said “Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place and let the dry land appear:” and it was so. And God called the dry land Earth: the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: And God saw that it was good. God doesn't stop there. He creates the abundant moving creatures in the seas and fowl to fly above the earth in the firmament of heaven. And God saw that it was good. Then God said, “Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle and creeping thing and beast of the earth.” And God saw that it was good—God admiring the diversity of his creation. God seeing his love reflected back in his creation. Then God steps it up. Man and Woman are created. “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. So God created Man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.” God the Gardener puts his hands into dirt, “adama”—dirt, earth, and creates Adam–earthling, earth creature. God puts his hands into the dirt, puts his hands under the dirt, forms it, and breathes life into this earth creature. God the first gardener, the best gardener, then plants a “garden eastward in Eden: and there he puts the man whom he had formed.” God does what all good gardeners do; he nurtures his garden, his creation. The garden was watered, tended. God took delight in his garden, delight in nurturing his creation. And he wanted those made in his image, Adam and Eve, to nurture the garden, to take delight in the garden, but they failed and were cast out of Eden. The Genesis story inspires me to be a good gardener of God's creation. If God can admire his creation and see his love reflected back by it, then who am I to not honor and care for it. I think of the breath that I breathe as the breath of God and it fills me with reverence and gratitude. The image of God as Gardener helps me identify myself as caretaker and steward and inspires reverence toward his creation and my gratitude for being part of it. Spring If our lives are as the seasons, we surely begin in spring. We are brought forth like new seeds, shining, and innocent and, if fortunate, nurtured by family, friends and faith. My earliest faith tradition was Irish Catholic, which to this day has left me with a profound appreciation for the mystical, for ritual and for the teachings of Jesus. It also laid the foundation for a lifetime of social justice activism. And while most likely not intended, the veneration of Mary, in my Catholic upbringing, planted the seeds of feminism in my little girl's mind that would emerge years later in my search for the divine feminine. I experienced poverty firsthand as a child but in spite of that poverty, in many ways, my childhood was magical. Or maybe it was magical because I experienced poverty. Time does have a way of helping you put things in perspective. I find that poverty was a great teacher in my life. It leaves you with a deep appreciation for what you do have, not wishing for what you don't have. And for whatever reason, I still hold fast to magic, which I define as creative imagination, because it's always been alive in me. As a young child in Chicago, I practically lived outside experiencing the seasons, in spring, summer and fall following the journeys..." @default.
