Your writing really spoke to me. It eloquently expressed much of what I have been thinking about in recent years. It does feel like we are disconnected from nature as a species. The predominant view has been that nature is there to be plundered - it is separate from us. For most of my life, I saw myself separate to nature - it was just background to my life. I admired beautiful landscapes but never felt immersed in them. It’s only in recent years with having to live slowly that I have felt more connected to the land where I live. I feel a need to protect it. I’m wanting to move towards living in a more sustainable way (though still feel far from it). I hope we can all regain a sense of connection and return to tending nature. I’m sure we can find ways to live in a way that is more aligned with the ecosystems we live in. That is my hope. Writing and talking about it is the first step! Thank you for writing this piece.🌿
Oh my goodness thank you for this comment, I can most definitely relate to the earnest attempts to living sustainably ourselves as it is quite a struggle in society today!! But we should never feel shameful of what we can and can’t do, rather proud of ourselves for even trying🍄🪴
