Pam makes a good point in her blog, http://gentleplanet.blogspot.com/2009/03/healing-power.html, about how nature connects people in ways they never thought they would. She says, “We are all connected. There are people who have not yet seen that connection but that doesn’t mean that they are not connected to each other and to us. That is happening to all of us right now if we will just pause, breathe and be aware.”
In my opinion, the biggest problem with our society today is that no one stops long enough to notice or appreciate anything. We are in such a hurry to live life to the fullest that we miss out on a lot of things in the process. That is also why industrialization is slowly eating away at the vast forests and fields that are pivotal to natural habitats. We are too busy looking to the future and technological advances that we don’t notice the damage and harm we are causing in the present.
Like Pam finishes, “Be in the moment.” Learn to live life for the small moments and the small gifts that are all around us. It creates a lot less stress and a more connected life: to nature, our surroundings, and the others who inhabit the Earth with us.
