Everything (that matters) IS Nature

_{Post updated 30 August 2022 – Original post 29 October 2019}

One that is not in harmony with nature, is not in harmony with themselves.

“In our busy modern lives, it’s easy to forget that we are a part of nature.
We know that vibrant green vistas soothe us. Vast wilderness inspires us.
The limitless clusters of stars in the night sky fill us with aching wonder. And yet it’s easy to feel detached from it all.”
Sandy Sitron

However detached we become, we must not forget that without nature there is no life. Without life, there is no you and without you there is nothing.
Everything is everything and everything is nature.

Are you making time to reconnect with that forgotten part of you, to appreciate it and protect it? 🌱

True Value

The true value of a human being is determined by the measure and the sense in which they have obtained liberation from the (egocentric) self. We shall require a substantially new manner of thinking if humanity is to survive.
Albert Einstein

Be Humble

Be humble enough to know you’re not better than anyone else and wise enough to know you’re different from everyone else.

Past, Present, Future; it’s all the same now.

“The perfect dictatorship would have the appearance of a democracy, but would basically be a prison without walls, in which the prisoners would not even dream of escaping. It would essentially be a system of slavery where, through consumption and entertainment, the slaves would love their servitudes.”
quote attributed to Aldous Huxley (1894-1963)

Mind Your Butt

Did you know that 1 cig butt pollutes at least 500 litres of water?

The core of most cigarette filters, the part that looks like white cotton, is actually a form of plastic (cellulose acetate)…

This is very slow to degrade in our environment…it can take 18 months to 10(+) years for a cigarette filter to decompose…they are full of toxins, which can leach into the ground and waterways, damaging living organisms that come into contact with them…
