Do You Remember Mother Nature?

I have always stopped to look at nature: I can’t remember a single day when it didn’t amaze me or bring me comfort.

While contemplating it, what I feel is:

“Come here, little one. Look at how beautiful everything is.”

And it is here that I learned how to listen.

It is as if nature had been a mother to me: always by my side, ready to welcome my restlessness, my thoughts and my fears.

Always ready to calm me with the sound of the waves or with the song of the birds.

I don’t believe we should forget how to live nature.

Another thing it has taught me is freedom of expression.

Beauty, ugliness, negativity, positivity and all the other polarizing labels certainly seem to exist — but if we could learn not to judge and not to name everything, what would remain would be simple and pure expression: whether it is anxiety, happiness, depression…

We should live by trying to be free in living.

Connection with nature is important. We must not forget it.

Every day, with its impermanence and cyclic nature, teaches us that the most important thing of all is simply to Be.
