NOTE: I will be at Northwest Sufi Camp next week and then in Berkeley for school the rest of August – so there may be less of these blog posts (although I expect to be able to do some during that time).
As we all know, one of the best cures for despair and overwhelm is to get into the forests and wild places and allow them to heal you. The trees and the animals and the mycelium and the dirt, as well as the ancestors whose bones you walk upon, are all there eagerly awaiting your open heart to join them and feel their genuine and never-ending love, compassion, affection, and healing, connected energy.
So, get into nature as often and for as long as possible. But for those in-between times, here is a quick reminder and dose of beauty. Have a good sound system or earphones and let yourself sink into this experience.
From the site:
“In a short and strikingly beautiful cinematic journey to wild places we are asked to think about how we are leaving the natural world for generations to come. What if our children’s children could never lay eyes on wild country because it is already destroyed? Spending time in the wild is not a past-time, the narrator tells us, rather it is a biological necessity like water, air and food. The video ends on a hopeful note, pointing out that thousands of people are spending their time working to leave their areas better than when they arrived.”
