Self-discovery in nature happens every moment of every day, if we’re willing to be open. In nature, it’s a profound letting go of what we have been conditioned to do. Immersing ourselves in the wild makes us really look at ourselves. Out in nature, at some point, it’s just you and nature and the Creator, and it’s like, do and learn or die. Now, I find wild things and magic in nature everywhere I go. When I’m walking in a city down a sidewalk, and I see the roots of a tree pushing the sidewalk up, I’m like cheering: GO TREE!! GO TREE!! YOU CAN DO IT!! YOU CAN DO IT!!

Please give water to the trees. Nature is the fourth dimension, biology, evolutionary wisdom. Biomimicry is teaching us how to live sustainable, without waste, pollution and stupid technology. There is also smart technology; example food containers from rice straw, wind and solar power, electric cars charged by the sun.
