Being strongly connected to earth, its environment, and the great animal life cohabitating here with humans, I find it comforting to give attention to various creatures and their experience.
My own spiritual depth is continually enhanced and enriched by bonding through observation and interaction with such fellow beings sharing this huge blue marble. A marble often referred to as "Earth".
By engaging the variables that exist, whatever their content, lifestyle and practice, one engages the testament to the origin and intent belonging to life. Which is why I'm constantly drawn to the story and voice of wildlife. Its musical performance tantalizing my mind. Pulling me in to the threaded harmony leading to its creator.
And wildlife is just that: life, wild, free, loose, truth, spirited in such a way that opinions stand null though we view the "process of living" at its purest. A process challenging self, and selflessly favoring the life line (per kind). Why not imitate that?
Like the dead serious, curious and often playful nature of the wildlife ---some of us find we could care less about peer popularity, isms, complexes, various politics and senseless fears. Because knowing the purpose of the life line, that takes precedence over any other thing however attaching and self pleasurable it may be.
With wildlife, identity is no question. Its a process of its origin. Its being. Raw. Law.
Am that, too.

Very deep and surprisingly subtle but I suppose that's how nature works. Unfortunatelly not many trully seem to want to understand how deep it is nor try to and not many seem to try to bask in the subtle bliss nor want to. It's too bad that people can't just relax and absorb nature for what it trully is…beautiful. I wrote a poem called Nature once trying to explain this and only partially succeeded. However, it's like you said, nature is raw. I don't think can anyone trully capture something litke that. Thanks for sharing your passion!

These lines of your poem ring true:
”Nature leaves a lasting touch
And its gifts are immortal.
To some it is too much
To ask a busy mortal
To take a trip to the wild
And be at peace with themselves.
They let work become too piled
And forget how deep nature delves.”And yet I trust your thought: ”I don't think can anyone trully capture something litke that.”
But it can't stop us from beautifying the experience of nature or divulging application of its countless truths and testamonies. Proof of what is and shall come. For, carefully concealed within all of nature's variables is the absolute of origin, cause, spirit and purpose.
Unquestionably, in my mind.
As for me. ALL life is to be loved and cherished. I weep over veggies being forked (haha) Tell me they are not alive before they are plucked out of the ground or off trees.. OK OK I will stop.
My trip to Oregan is what was the most Spiritual awaking I have ever had. Up in the Cascades surrounded by zillions of trees and it is all just so breathtaking. The quiet yet the noise of nature. WOW!
Thats somewhat serendipitous, since I weep over veggies being wasted. Especially since in the wild, vegetation is pierced by all kinds of animal teeth. Why
not a fork, too? (guilty vegans) :)
Oregon sounds intriguing. Will have to look into that.
Absolutely beautiful Tru … feeling our complete connectedness to earth mother and all life upon her is glorious!
Namaste
