“There is no Sleepy Hollow on the Internet, no peaceful spot where contemplativeness can work its restorative magic. There is only the endless, mesmerizing buzz of the urban street.” Nicholas Carr, from The Shallows: What the Internet is Doing to Our Brains (New York: Norton, 2010)

Blog 6 - Deep ecology
Foltz argues that there is a spiritual aspect to nature, a sense of holiness, a deep ecology. We believes that this concept of deep, full understanding of the profoundness of nature, is achieved by our interests. The more interested we are about nature, the more we would want to find out more about it. And this would lead to a domino effect of trying to understand nature. But for us to fully understand nature we must recognize that their is a spiritual component to it that may not be fully revealed. I contend that their is a heightened sense of spirituality about the world we living and thus nature. If we treat nature as the sacred entity it is, nature preservation efforts could be easily undertook.
