Hi, nothing in this life matters, so cherish everything.

[cloudyhippierock]

🔥—May the flame of your heart be a calm crackling campfire, and not a scorching inferno.

🌊—May the waters of your soul be a gentle trickling stream, and not a raging river.

🪨—May the Earth of your body be stable ground, and not an earthquake.

🌬️—May the winds of your mind be a soft gentle breeze, and not a wild hurricane.

The four elements do not compose the world around us, but in actuality the world inside ourselves. We are universes each individual and separate but also all one. We are the nature, we are the universe, and we are also ourselves.

Mentally if you believe you have enough money now in the present moment. In the future present moment (20 years from now) you will always have enough. Just give thanks. 🙏

Namaste

A cry for nature

There is a nostalgia in me that is not mine. How can it be when I have never worshipped the Sun? When I have never danced in the full moon? When I have no name for the plants around me? This longing is embedded in my DNA. And it has been waiting. Waiting for me, for us to remember that we are nature.

I seem to find myself in a unfamiliar world. One that hurts my eyes with screens, hurts my ears with screeches and hurts my soul with pollution. A world that worships the new Gods of economy, materialism and individualism.

False Gods that bring no joy, no peace - only work and hollow aches for someone else’s life. I ache for the old ways, long forgotten by me. For I am the same as everyone else, I have too forgotten. I am disconnected in a world so connected. Alone in a world over spilling with people.

Each of us long for people to reach inside and see us. Someone to fully understand and know us. And yet we never know how to reach into each other. Who are your neighbours? What is the name of the postman? Do you even have a local shop?

Community is dead. We have been separated and I fear on purpose. By a system that wants us alone and powerless, so it can use us. Grind us down for every pence are atoms are worth. You are not a person, you are potential profit.

And so we are too busy. We are too busy working, that we have forgotten we are alive. Wasting away behind screens, behind closed doors while the old Gods call from outside.

Am I the only one that hears their call?

Remember us.

Come to us.

Help us.

And even I do not go. I think we are all trapped inside the machine of society. Trapped into making the economy grow. Trapped into wanting that new dress or that new TV. Yet my eyes are open and tears spill, for I am sad.

As I cook, I am sad as I wash up the plastic waste that I hopefully put into the recycling and pray to some unknown being that it is in fact recycled. I am sad as I walk up the street and pollution spills into my lungs. I am sad about the litter, about the sewage, about the condition we kept farm animals.  For when it hurt nature, it hurts me.

And what good are my tears for my Old Gods? They need my hands and my brain. They need all our hands. But what use our hands when we have lost so much knowledge. I could not survive without the system that pains me. A system that has destroyed so much nature. I once was nature.

But I am no longer native to my own lands. My hands do not know the soil and my eyes do not know the plants. And the land is cut up and divided. None of it ours. 

The life I long for I cannot have. It does not exist and maybe it never did.  Nostalgia is dangerous. Longing for a forgotten life is another trap. This is the world and these are my cards.

Time washes us forward, and I cannot not resist. And so I must ask myself. What can I do? What good can I do?

I find it so fascinating that we can find parts of ourselves in nature🫁
