“We are not just connected to nature, we are nature.”

- Andrea Gibson

Thoughts: I have over the years tried to buy into having a connection with nature, I know how to use the lingo, I was mostly able to fit in. By the time I was six years old I had already learned most people didn’t feel the world like I did. I knew no separation, I felt too deeply. So when I could feel some bees someone had left in a glass jar in the sun were very upset and panicked, without a thought I released them, oh they were angry! My heart hurt that anybody could be so mean. I was immediately stung between my toes by one of those angry bees and had trouble reconciling that abuse after I thought I had saved them. Thankfully my mom explained to me as she removed the stinger that they were probably so upset they couldn’t tell who was helping and who was hurting them. For my six year old sensibilities what she said made sense to me and that helped me. Mom didn’t dismiss me or say I was ridiculous, I was fortunate in that. I will give you, the reader, the space to think about how we are nature, it feels very personal to me. Blessings ♥️
