Nature’s Healing
A healthy brother’s camping trip at Bon Echo Park in Ontario. We canoed, trail ran, swam, and spent quality time together in nature, a powerful combo to ground, center, and align.
“We’re fascinated by words, but where we meet is in the silence behind them.” - Ram Dass
Silence beholds our inner & outer truth. And nature provides us the soundtrack to a spiritual silence like none other. This poem can sum up my recent awakening as a nature lover, one that craves being with plants and animals, one that learns from his wildlife surroundings, and one that advocates for a better relationship with nature. Arriving at this healthful mind-body-spirit place starts with regularly immersing oneself with nature, just like one would with any hobby or skill acquisition. It’s an opportunity to ‘rewild’ oneself, untether to the commercial material world, and connect more deeply to the nature that nurtures our souls.

Nature’s healing
Is in its revealing
Of our feelings.
🌿🌎✨
The peeling
Of our concealing,
stealings, and dealings.
🌿🌎✨
Our Truth seekings,
Sees Nature’s meanings,
From indigenous teachings,
And enchanted meetings.
🌿🌎✨
Only needing
An intervening
Of mindful breathing
An Ego yielding
Divine wielding
A self believing
An interbeing.
