Nature's Essence (Natureness): a two-section, mental and environmental gift

This core Natureness activity only works if you do it. (And it only takes a few minutes to do.) Through it, you'll discover the inherent web-of-love and beauty that binds us to our selves, each other and the natural world.

If you like it; pass it on. Help spread your ignored yet profound and powerful love, harmony, and gratitude to remedy our Earth Misery (or for any other reason, we need as much of this kind of love as we can get.)

Part One:

Find an attractive moment of nature in your environment. It could be a park, a plant, a pet, a stone, a stream, a tree, a backyard, a front yard, a cloud, a birdsong, a mountain, a meadow, a view. The fact that its attractiveness calls or touches you for a awhile means you know you have its consent to visit it. Without this permission you may be continuuing our ingrained tresspassing of its right to its life, around, in and as us.

Spend a few minutes discovering exactly what it is that most attracts you, that you love about this gift from nature.

When you are comfortably feeling satisfied by whatever attracted you, write the following and fill in the blanks:

I love this__(attraction)__ because it___________.

An example: I love this rock because it is enduring and warm and it supports the other life forms growing with or on it.

Be aware that attraction draws things together. It is the essence of love and conscious of what it's attracted to.
