Nature is healing. The blue of the sky, the grass between our toes, the smell of rain, digging in the dirt to plant, taking in this beautiful planet that is our home. All of this brings us closer to who we are and closer to healing.
Plants breathe out and we breathe in oxygen. We breathe out and plants breathe in carbon dioxide. Plants use the sun's energy to grow and in growing provide us with food. We thrive on what is here in nature because we are part of it. Nature feeds our bodies and our souls.
The Central Park Effect is a beautiful, lyrical documentary on birding. It is an immersion in nature. The beauty of the seasons, the foliage, and the migrators unfolds in the timeless paths and rhythms of nature. The Central Park Effect is a doorway to nature.
Whether we experience nature through a doorway such as a documentary, or through our own back door, we are constantly in nature, but often fail to be aware of that. Minds split with multi-tasking take in less of the splendor that surrounds us. Sensing the vibrating life in and around us brings us to the present moment. We are here now. In this present moment we heal.
