Mother Nature in Human Nature

2021 (and 2020) has connected me to nature in a deeper way than ever before. Here are some things I have learned about the human experience through the incredible wisdom of Mother Nature. 

Changing seasons show us that…

• Nothing is permanent
• There’s a cycle to everything 

The season of Autumn shows us that…

• Letting go isn’t forever 
• Letting go can be beautiful 

Animals who hibernate show us that…

• It is important to rest 

 Animals who can camouflage show us that…

• We are adaptive beings

Trees that last 100s of years show us that…

• Perseverance requires strong roots 
• What keeps us standing tall is invisible to the eye

Birds that pollinate show us that…

• We help each other make the world more beautiful 

Metamorphosis shows us that…

• We are constantly changing

Caterpillar’s chrysalis show us that…

• Darkness transforms us to a version of ourselves beyond our imagination 

… and it goes on and on and on. May you have a soul-enlightening and connecting-the-dots kind of new year ahead.
