Letting Mother Nature Nurture
“Meaning, moods, the whole scale of our inner experience, finds in nature ‘the correspondences’ through which we may know our boundless selves.”
Kathleen Raine (English Poet & Critic; June 14th, 1908 to July 6th 2003)
“‘Biophilia’ —Spirit’s silent wake-up call that all of life is a sacred continuum.”
“…believes our biophilial urges—the “love of living things”—plants, wildlife and the great outdoors is generic, encoded in human beings to ensure balance, harmony, and preservation. “Attraction to natural environments is not simply a cultural phenomenon. There is evidence it is a deeper, biological urge.”
Edward O. WIlson (American Biologist & Naturalist; June 10th, 1929 to December 26th, 2021)
“If we are to thrive today, becoming one with nature is just essential as it was millions of years ago. In fact, many therapists who specialize in ‘ecopsychology’ believes that deepening our emotional ties to nature is as vital to our well-being as the close personal bonds we pursue with family and friends. …we are responding positively to physiological and psychological urges to connect for survival. We might not consciously understand it, but we need to reinforce our strand in the web of life. When we honor this holy hunger by getting in tune with nature, we experience personal harmony.”
“Nature is a needed nutrient for humans to thrive…basic…primal…necessary.”
