Look around. Let Nature nurture your Soul. I record images I sense and share them here.
NURTURE your NATURE

For my blog "Nurture your Nature"


Nature can nurture our writing, can nurture our soul. What is the language of Nature? And how do we learn it?

We look at the natural wonders around us and do not see them, hear, taste nor smell them. They do not touch us anymore than we dare touch them. And then we wonder why we feel so dead. To breathe in and live like a child again opens the Land of Wonderment. It's still there after all these years.

"We need Joy as we need air. We need Love as we need water. We need each other as we need the earth we share." — Maya Angelou

I'm joyful each time my stick plant blooms in February, each time I see a meagre bloom on the geranium in Summer.

When I'm hugged I feel a connection. Some might call it love. I'm energized each time. So few times this past year.

Yes, we need each other in our lives to survive or thrive.

Except here.

Here writers retreat into their caves of depression or hide with their fantasies behind thick fortress walls. They eschew interaction.

And I feel abandoned on my Isle of the Lonely, begging for visits as ships pass by barely leaving a thumbs up. At a distance I can't distinguish that from a middle finger at attention.

I realize that people don't want to listen to the same lament stuck on replay.

         Yes, we need each other.
         Yes, we could show more love.
         Yes, we flourish with joy.

Repeated ad nauseum.

Air and water and fertile soils are nice when there's access to one's needs. Without your joy, love and hugs, I'm barely surviving.
