Sunrise cycling along the lake. When in nature, we often forget that we’re moving into another realm. Much of the world we experience is dominated by houses, cars, offices & shops where we feel somewhat in control. However, we can unknowingly carry this attitude into the world of nature. We can forget that as we enter a forest or sit at the edge of a lake we’re moving into another realm with a unique sense of natural order, effortless meaning & endless abundance. Sometimes, we may not even notice nature. We can walk quickly through a park as if on a busy city street – eyes downcast, thoughts hectic & hurried.
When sensitive to our environment, we hear delightful sounds of the ducks calling, the wind whistling through the leaves & beautiful bird-songs. Noticing this wondrous shift, we naturally shift into a receptive state of stillness, openness & peace. Giving ourselves time to create, to feel inspired. Just allow ourself to be captivated & charmed by nature’s ethereal energy. By honouring nature, we honour the mystery & beauty of our origin.
