Loved everything about this piece Marsha, including the term "horse plucky" ha! Even though I'm one of those "annoying productivity people" who recommend time in nature alongside other tools for busy, stressed professionals, I'm absolutely with you 100% on the need for deeper (re)connection with our origins, it's a non-negotiable. Recognising that we are part of this larger ecosystem, this natural consciousness, and not overlords of it (via things like the pretty wallpaper on our screens) is a message I'm so pleased to see you leading the charge on. More please! :) (And thanks for the film recommendation, very moving).

Thanks, Mich! I wasn't lumping you in with the annoying productivity group. I'm sure you know that.😉 Thank you for the phrase "natural consciousness." I always appreciate your support. Onward!

Pleasure Marsha, and yes of course, that was just me poking fun at me, lol! :D Interestingly, I'm reading a lot around the topic of consciousness (in relation to the mind) at the moment, and I keep coming across nature references linked to that term. Food for thought. :)

Loved your essay and the short video. I have a Parkinson's diagnosis, and I bet there is a connection.
