When I stare at the treetops, I see lungs and veins and capillaries–whatever those are. I see channels of life and air and breath and nutrients. I see varicose veins and I see wrinkles in skin, around eyes and the back of a hand.
An affirmation of mine has been “I am in harmony with nature.” Or even more boldly: “I am nature.” Seeing nature and human mirrored in one another reminds me that the same life that flows through every living thing, every being in the universe, also flows through me.
I am in harmony with nature. I am nature.
