About this listen

Join your host, Jamie Robe, as he braves the cold (...it's Florida, so yes, 48F feels very cold to us here) to climb the observation tower at Lettuce Lake Park, Tampa Florida.

It is a clear blue sky, sunny. Take a few minutes to watch the Hillsborough River as it flows on its ancient quest from its source (tropical rain drops and ancient aquifer springs) ... all the way to its destination in the sea. There are hundreds of black Turkey Vultures sitting on the cypress trees across the river. Some are sunning themselves, before lifting off to glide all day on thermals.

Thenlet's talk about what the river ecosystem looks like now, and what it was like in prehistoric times.

Is there a spiritual dimension to walking in nature?
