QUOTEABLE QUOTES "Anyone can hold the helm when the sea is calm" - Publilius Syrus (1st century BC) This has a nice First Nations indigenous ring to it: “Francis of Assisi is the patron saint of ecology because he granted animals, elements, and the earth subjectivity, respect, and mutuality. In his Canticle of the Creatures, Francis the mystic describes a participatory universe in which God loves and cares for us through Brother Sun, Sister Moon, Brothers Wind and Air, Sister Water, Brother Fire, and through our sister, Mother Earth”. (Rohr, R. 2020) Canticle can be found here FORWARD THIS TO A FRIEND Help us to spread the story-in-business message and forward the email to a friend or colleague who you feel would be interested.
