Your words can be read, but they can also be felt on an energetic level that’s incredibly penetrating to the soul. Very grateful for this transmission.

“Modern humans have forgotten that we are not apart from Nature. We are Nature—an extension of its breath, its rhythms, its unbreakable will to create and sustain life.”

Ronit - this letter for me has been the most challenging. I love being in Nature, communing with Nature, and sometimes experience how studying my own brings me the deepest connection (love and belonging) I can ever imagine. In moments in my life I have felt how a Tree is made up of me and me of it - literally. In daily practice I experience my maladaptive behaviors, their roots, and sometimes how I can "fit" much better. In short spurts I have experienced my connection to the wind as if G-d is speaking to me, comforting me, or how just being with the mountains connects me to love, humility and what feels like all I need to know. YET, Nature is still separate from me. I do feel this spiritual and very biological/chemical connective void if I am really quiet, and also the hints that the void is an illusion.

I'm curious to learn more how I can cultivate my relationship to / with Nature.

I'm also curious to hear from other readers - what has been your journey in relationship with Nature? What has worked and not worked? Where your current edge may be in this journey?
