Why You Love Nature (with Howard Thurman)

Howard Thurman was the great behind-the-scenes spiritual leader of America’s civil rights movement. Martin Luther King was said to carry a copy of Thurman’s Jesus and the Disinherited with him for inspiration on each march. But Thurman starts by being among the great nature mystics in the Christian tradition. Why do you (like everyone) love nature so much? For Thurman, that’s part of how we create that strong inner self that so influenced King and others.Mentioned on this podcast:What Makes You Come Alive: A Spiritual Walk with Howard Thurman, by Lerita Coleman Brown
