Serenity, peace, equanimity, connection, affirmation, at-one with the flow of things, with the way of things, no striving to make something be what it is not, what it has no business being... At home in the natural world, with the natural way of things. Nature does that for us, gives that to us, invites us to slow down, stay for a while. How long has it been? Since you spent time with nature? As a species, we spend more time disturbing nature than communing with nature-- exchanging scenic vistas for parking lots-- making progress. Progress doesn't do what nature does. Does not restore our souls, restore us to our soul. To our heart. To The Way. The natural way of being in the world by being with the world, with the way of being with the world. Step away from noise and complexity. Find your natural way of being with the world. Discover the face that was yours before you were born. The who you have always been, and will always be, waiting for you to wake up, slow down, and make acquaintances.
