		<description>&lt;strong&gt;Hi Bern,&lt;/strong&gt;

Thanks for stopping by and reading some. And, oooh yeah, Bunch Berries are one of my favorites, as are Huckleberries and Blueberries. I agree that whatever we do in nature affects everything on some level. We are animals first, and nature is our home. It is curious, although also quite natural, that we have separated from the natural world to a great degree as a species. Of course in a sense, all worlds that we can occupy with awareness and intent are natural to us. But still, it is curious that perhaps most people look upon wild nature just as a place to relax or as a temporary remedy or grounding. 

There is such a difference between an occasional relationship with nature, and living as part of nature. I believe that one can live within nature even if they happen to live in New York City or London England. As you imply, everything requires energy from us. When we can let go of the fears, the walls, and the separations that we employ, we can live with an amazing awareness and experience that merges and is immersed perfectly in nature. You would know this better than most :-)

Thanks,
John</description>

		<description>I too like Canadian dogwood or bunchberry as shown in your header John.  The berries are orange and I occasionally eat a few to blend our energies together.  This then too changes everything......our perception is altered forever more by entering into a new relationship with the world.

Resolving our fears is another extremely powerful method of completely transforming our lives to a heightened and more self empowering perspective.  If we perceive there is a risk with our relationship with Nature.....then it is granted to us and we then try to keep the danger at bay. One then becomes aware of the danger of uniting with this self-imposed risk we ourselves programmed into our lives.  

When we feel through direct experience there is no longer any risk, then we no longer invite this polarized energy into our lives.  The relationship has been mended and a state of love has been stepped into.  One is then at peace with the object we once kept at bay and that we kept guard over.  Through this new love....the energy of the once feared object merges with us, and we become One with them.

Life then Transforms, and how we perceive the world is altered and heightened forever more to come.

Finding our Self in Nature truly does Cure everything. In this way, we become everything and are becoming to everything within the grand scenes of Life.</description>

		<description>&lt;strong&gt;Hello Valerie,&lt;/strong&gt;

Thank you so much for visiting. I am glad that I discovered your blog also. 

Yes we all have the ability to lead a profound life, because life IS profound, and there is a core within each of us that connects profoundly to life in our unique way. It is just like nature; all of the various elements are brilliant in their own functioning and specialization, and they all come together to form a cohesive and perfect whole.

Best,
John</description>
