Interfaces of Inspiration

[Diana]

I so agree with this. Most of humanity is separated from nature, and even from the recognition of the energy signatures—and even the metaphors—of some manmade structures such as bridges and basements. I think this awareness is vital and mostly missing from the consciousness of humanity at this time. It is the magical world a child lives in, being present and interacting with the abundance of this reality, beyond typical human concerns, and this source of renewal and connection has great power in it.

Beyond the environs of this planet I love to interact with the life forms on it. I love to watch insects for example, which is something most people would think is slightly nuts. But there is such exquisite beauty in them, and not just butterflies. When I catch scorpions to take them outside (in a glass) as they occasionally find a way into the house, I can't help but marvel at the beauty of their machine-like and amazingly designed bodies.

Once one gets out of the "maelstrom" and connects with nature rather than the focus being on other people and the human dramas, otherwise untapped energies become available. The ocean for instance carries so much healing and renewal. Canyons and mountains widen the mind's perspectives. Walking in forests instills so much peace and calm. And so on.
