It’s good staying at places with good book collections
“The ecological crisis we face is due largely to the way we see, or rather, the way we don't see the world around us. In the life of our Western developed culture we are often too busy, trav-elling too fast, and too distracted to pay the sort of attention that Francis gave to the created world. Like those of whom Elizabeth Barrett Browning wrote in the middle of the nineteenth century, we are blind to the sacramental presence of what is before our eyes:
Earth's crammed with heaven,
And every common bush afire with God:
But only he who sees, takes off his shoes, The rest sit round it, and pluck blackberries.”
