This is so beautiful, Erika, that I read it twice. I appreciated the information about the Sikh beliefs, a religion I know almost nothing about. I could feel the peace you mentioned, But, most of all, I like the idea of being guests of the earth. Stewardship once meant caring for the earth, being mindful, nurturing, preserving, But, Christianity has turned stewardship into violent ownership, creating the mess we now have. Again, this was beautiful to read, especially at the close of 2021.
