Casey you are right on the knocker here with spending time in the garden. And not just running through thinking, 'oh, I should trim that tree, those weeds need pulling out, which animal pooped there?' but actually just 'being' in a garden.
My little herb & veggie gardens are giving me such delight. I talk to the little tomato plants - I have six little green tomato nubs coming now - and thank the coriander for its bounty, given way now to little white flowers that the bees just adore. I put my old cast iron two seater and little table right underneath a tree (no idea what kind of tree it is, it doesn't matter) and huddled next to a presently-flowering bush. To sit there and watch the bees bumble around, see the birds take turn in splashing around in the bird bath, to listen to the warming breeze rustle the leaves, and feel that dappled sunlight on my face as I sip a cup of Earl Grey - I tell you, it's one of the highlights of my day if I can do that.
That and looking up into the night sky. Seeing the perfect half-round moon, the twinkly stars, the roaming satellites, the special shadowed hush of a passing owl.
Nature is where we were created to exist, not this noisy, plastic, toxic thing we live in.
Everyone needs to read your post and try at least one of the five ways to rediscover nature.
Brilliant!
I love this!
