Lessons in Nature
I have learned a lot of things in nature; some practical, some metaphorical, some 
humbling and grounding. Things that are easy to forget because we have created a concrete reality based on jobs, houses, status, and stuff. We’ve forgotten how to be outside, how to be ourselves, and that we are part of something bigger. Nothing like the forces of nature to remind us…
Lesson in Nature #1
Nature Doesn’t Give a Flying Leap Who You Are Or How Many Friends You Have on Facebook
The trees, majestic mountains, rolling oceans, awe inducing animals are all unaware of how cool, popular, or successful you are. Nature also doesn’t seem to care about how insecure you might feel, your bad self-esteem moments, or your lack of current employment; a potential bruise to the ego, but completely freeing in many ways. You can be exactly who you are in nature. No need to impress. No need to put on false pretenses and pretend to be someone you’re not. Hell, you don’t even need to put on make-up or do your hair. The birds don’t care, nor do the oceans, trees, or animals. You’re perfect in this greater scheme of things. Don’t forget it.
Stay tuned for more of Nature’s lessons. She’s wise peeps.
