Close to its Beating Heart

It is all around us...more or less every location and zone is in sight of at least some of it..it gives us air to breathe, it contains insects that pollenise, that aerate the soil...its a web that WORKS..but we have forgotten it here in the west haven't we. We travel to work in cars, we sit in air conditioned rooms all day, we then drive home and engage in various forms of media, the television, games consoles, and computers...well a large amount of us do..many are changing, or were not wholly absorbed to begin with..and CHANGE WE MUST! I hate it when i start to feel 'preachy'..it gets boring and makes me think i am being self righteous..i will give you my position now..i have given it all one heck of a lot of thought, i have spent a lot of time in nature, and my last job (10 years) was litter picking in rural areas...BRILLIANT!! so i feel that i have one foot in the right place at least! So what have we forgotten? we have forgotten that nature deserves respect, and i don't mean dressing things up in a 'green agenda' just to make money..i believe that by now we should have moved on from that mentality.but alas we have not! all they are bothered about in power is getting powerful and/or getting rich! It stinks..their whole reality that they pump out is tainted..its not even their fault..its evolved like that over many generations..they are just simply the latest layer of the problem.So what do we do? Well....what I do is to create this nature shrine where i can sit and reflect on nature and my place in it, be close to the soil, and learn from closely observing it. It is a focal point, where i can get to know the nature in my locality..and get involved in local issues/meet up with others of a like mind..also i can write about in on here and share it with YOU..and if it strikes a cord then BRILLIANT! I want to be close to its beating heart, i want to reconfigure my psyche around it..because i see the evolved human system as deeply flawed and unworthy of our potentials and our grace as evolved humans COULD be...so i do what i do:)
