  • The search for meaning may be central to human life, but that doesn’t mean it’s easy, even for a searcher as well equipped as Sasha Sagan. The daughter of the late astronomer Carl Sagan and writer/producer Ann Druyan, Sagan grew up in a family attuned to the wonder of the natural world. When she herself became a mother, she drew from her childhood nature lessons to create a set of rituals for her daughter, activities that also inspired her family to appreciate the beauty in small things. Sagan’s ideas, captured in her new book, For Small Creatures Such as We, will invite us all to celebrate life, love, and the power of mindful observation.

    I am impressed that John texts her leaving his office and says "on the way." That can be nice and romantic. Too many get totally carried away with texting nonsense these days that goes on and on.

    not that deep in my opinion. I rather read something from Friedrich Nietzsche, Carl Sagan, Jordan Peterson or Hermann Hesse.

    I don't know... she just seems to be living in the middle of this huge bubble where the struggles of real life just never show up; like someone who has never needed the Lord's mercy in an obvious way. Lord, bring your people back to you and I pray you won't allow them to fool others in silly doctrines of man, Lord. Lord allow your chosen people , sons and daughters of Abraham, to know you and come back to you Lord. I pray in the name of Jesus Christ .

      @@FaiaHalo Of course I did. But what she wants is to keep aspects of religion/spirituality like rituals, to give meaning to life. However, she removes from the equation the thing that actually gives those rituals meaning, which is Transcendence/God/Metaphysics. Thus, she is focusing on the aspect that is actually least important in religion spirituality/religion, leading to disappointment, because the end goal of those rituals was removed.

      @@santiagovelez1997 not really. If I follow those rituals taking the part with no evince of its existence, or supernatural part (god, transcendence) out, it's just another ritual, like she says. Like the ritual of blowing candles asking for a wish during birthday celebrations. That's a Wiccan ritual, but most people don't even tell their children that, and nothing happens.
