This degraded the water, forests and plant and animal life. Even many abundant species such as deer and beaver became almost impossible to find. In time, the majority of settlers were motivated to move to other places and for many decades, the land was left uninhabited to regenerate. Local environment advocates helped protect this process.</p> Tue, 01 Nov 2022 18:52:05 +0000 MORSL 2376 at /morsl /morsl/article/spiritual-wellness/my-clearness-committee <p>One of the most fundamental aims of my kind of Quakerism is having a pure intention: living our lives in a way that feels right and (usually) makes sense.<br /> In Quakerism, we call that a “leading” – sort of like a calling, it is an action that feels right, an act of love, an act in alignment with our whole self, an act of pure meaning.</p> <p>In my tradition, we have a practice we call a clearness committee. When I moved to Montreal, I was scared. I had a strong urge to go but I knew no one and had no plan. I asked for a clearness committee because I wanted to purify my intention.</p> Thu, 10 Nov 2022 20:42:33 +0000 David Summerhays 2384 at /morsl
