"Observation is what makes a scientist. It is only by seeing things in minute detail that we learn their secrets. Others can walk past a plant for a whole life and never even notice the color of its blossoms, but the botanist knows every beat of its heart and the turning of the petal." -Doc to Peekay in The Power of One
I loved Bryce Courtney's books and most of all loved reading Tandia, and the Power of One. Reading about nature at it's best and the people in Tandia made me dream of visiting that beautiful land one day. This quote above is one that I have integrated in my life. In our society today, Nature has unfortunately become a quiet voice in the background to many people. With the tsunami in Japan and the other natural disasters that have been occurring at what seems to be a faster more intense rate, perhaps it is time we start paying attention to what mother earth is all worked up about.
For eg: Whether or not you believe there is a spiritual side to the nature around you, or whether global warming is happening or if its ethical to manipulate our natural surroundings as we have with the sprawling cities, pollution and over consumption of natural resources, we are all a part of this natural world whether we like it or not. We need to be more aware of the cycles and its warnings that are now available to us in this technological society. We can live in better harmony with the world that has supported us for thousands of years and hopefully thousands more.
I suggest why don't we create an earth day in your life every week or an earth day for the office once a month. To take a day to step out of your office, take off your shoes, scrunch your feet in the soil and grass, go sit in the park, relax, soak up that sun and listen to the harmony of the birds. Get away from the hustle and bustle for an hour. Turn off the mobile, do something that honors the connection we all have to the natural world around us. If you don't have time for that, then next weekend buy a potted plant and place it on your desk. Let it soak in that oxygen, and watch it grow.
See if you can find the breath of nature. Don't think about it.. Feel it.
