"I wonder if other people’s joy feels so hard won" - I struggle with the opposite of this, maybe ... feeling like I grew up with such privilege and whenever I'm in beautiful places / nature I always find myself thinking, "I don't deserve this."
Regardless - I am someone who finds so much joy/faith/divinity in nature and I love the idea of formalizing it in a wild church. <3
Mm, this is an interesting inversion of the thought. I had a therapist remind me once that we are like the trees, we belong here because we are here. Maybe this thought can be extended to "deserving" nature. We deserve nature because we are in nature. But, of course, nature is not something to be deserved. It just is. :) I hope this makes sense, I'm sick and my brain is foggy, lol.
