I know the world through a particular body. My body aches from running. My stomach churns from lack of food. My mind is on a right rope of anxious thoughts. I sit still in anticipation. By body soaks up the sun and feels warmth from a near by fire. Despite my jambled brain and my sunken body nature continues around me. I long to be at peace like the trees that surround me. The birds beautifully and carelessly sing to one another. Every blade of grass relaxes with heavy condensation in the warm rays. The fire crackles. Humming of industrialism is faint in the distance. All nature sings together in a setting of wind and sun. They creat music or dance together. I sit observing but unable to engage. I’m disconnected from the beautiful stream of nature. Let me join in! I want to fly with the birds. I want to grow with the trees. I want to experience life through the eyes of nature.
What does nature think of us? We know not how to be still…a bug has landed on me to say hi.
