If I hear the word, “nature,” I immediately think of parks and mountains, being close to the earth, smelling the trees, flowering plants, dirt and hearing the birds. I can feel myself somewhere out side in a Seattle park or in the woods. There is a seeming external component to nature as if I have…

Nature is the place where I feel connected to something greater. Connected to my body, my feelings, and our history. Connected also to other species. For me, embracing the nature around me is a way of motivating reflexion about our place in the world and in evolution.

For example, climate change tells us that we…

I associate it with the azure blue waters of the Indian ocean lapping on golden sand, smoky hills covered in tea plantations and kissed with sunlight streaming through pinholes in the clouds, the cold majestic mountains of the North shore, the tall and…
