This research explores the subject whether or not religious beliefs should play a part in current environmental advocacy. Kathleen Jamie, the Scottish Maker , demonstrates her ecological awareness within her poems by developing a theory of the sacred in which humans and non-humans are united. Jamie claims that the language of poetry reveals this eco-spirituality by going back to the basics of what it means to call a place "home," a term that is applicable to both humans and non-humans. The language of poetry, according to Jamie, unveils this eco-spirituality by returning to the primordial essence of the concept of home that fits perfectly both humans and non-humans. As such, language is the architect of Jamie's vision for the home, not just as a location of the human population, but as a place where nature and humans are equal .
