Gotta ramble, both this kind of ramble and the kind where I walk around aimlessly and relish the impending spring, look for signs of budding trees, smell the fresh scent of earth and listen to the stream. Overjoyed to see, if you look closely, the snowdrops breaking thru the still frozen earth. I spent awhile chipping the last of the ice near the garage, that really made me feel that Spring was going to arrive one day .
sat facing the sun
sweet smell of fresh earth, soft breeze
bare feet rest on soil
People sometimes ask me, “Where do you get all your passion? You’re the most passionate person I’ve ever met.” Yet they don’t always understand when I say, "I’m passionate because Nature is alive inside me, and Nature is passion unleashed."
These same people will go on to tell me, "No, that can't be it. It has to be something more than Nature." They say that it must be some spiritual book I’ve read, some guru I’ve learned from, some religion I follow, and so on. But it is none of these things. I don’t read spiritual books or follow any guru or religion. I have always preferred to go directly to my Source to experience who I am and what is essential for a rich meaningful life.
When we fall into the waiting arms of Nature with every single fiber of our being we are forever changed. There is no going back. We see the world through wild eyes. We become free spirited wild creatures, filled with wonder and love, hungry for life.
I am forever grateful that life led me down a path into the wild places. and that I had the courage to face my fears and follow. Many years ago, had I not chosen the wild path, which Life thrust me upon, I would not have lived to see my thirtieth birthday. For me there were only two paths: Life and Death. I didn’t have the luxury of something in between. For me, to live apart from Nature is death. To live as part of Nature is full-on life.
"Deep in our core lives the magnificent wild human-animal, passionately yearning for relationship with the living earth." ~ Excerpt: "Naked in Eden" - Robin Easton
