I am nature.

I am not seperate from the natural world. I am the natural world. I don’t know why it took 50 years of being on the planet to understand this. Possibly because no one told me. Our culture teaches us that we are different from the rest of the creatures we see. We are tucked away in our houses, offices, cars doing all we can to keep nature OUT. And yet, I am made up of all the same stuff of everything I see when I walk outside my door. I am a CREATURE. Yes, a conscious one that is able to be more aware on more levels than the others - and yet I am not nearly as attuned to my body, my instinct and the world around me as all of the other non-human creatures. Reconnecting to who I am. Reconnecting to the earth I belong to. This is my home. The trees, rocks and animals are my brothers and sisters.
