Why connect with Nature?
Nature doesn’t need us. We need nature. There is nothing bad in nature, we are just messing with it too much. We are putting things in the wrong places. It’s like rearranging our bodies, as if we have a greater wisdom than nature. So we reconnect with nature, not for nature’s sake, but for humanity’s sake. Nature will live on, readapt, readjust, clean itself up. It doesn’t have a timeline. Not so sure about the resilience of humanity as it exists today.

I walk with Earth under my feet
ReplyDeleteI walk with visions in my eyes
I walk with fire inside me
I walk with Spirits as my guides
When I feel like I can't breathe
I take a walk and I am healed
I'm walking back to the center
I'm walking through the sacred field
I'm walking deeper and deeper
Learning the secrets to the night
I'm looking into the fire
I'm looking past the light
When I feel like I can't breathe
I take a walk and I am healed
I'm walking back to the center
I'm running through the sacred field
I hear them calling my name

There is an intimate reciprocity to the senses; as we touch the bark of a tree, we feel the tree touching us; as we lend our ears to the local sounds and ally our nose to the seasonal scents, the terrain gradually tunes us in turn. The senses, that is, are the primary way that the earth has of informing our thoughts and of guiding our actions.
