RE: TribeSteemUp Bi-Weekly Question - Do you believe that there is inherent order in nature or is it all chaos and chance?
“反者道之動 — Return is the Dào's movement.”
I love reading posts where the words are reflections of thoughts/feelings which are reflections of the natural environment.
I get to live vicariously through these, my imagination now filled with images of pomegranates and orange blossoms and the sheer wondrousness that I know I’d feel were I actually there.
Part of the problem with living in the city/urban environment is that disconnect from the natural world. @riverflows has been asking the question “do we intervene or go hands-off?” ... of course when we are face-to-face with mother nature it’s easy to trust that she can look after herself.
But what about when humans are urbanised?
”Because there is a reason for the crazy and chaotic, it helps us to find our way back, back to our self.”
In my mind’s eye, when I need to come back to myself I am always imagining it as walking through a forest into an open field. Now I understand why.

Ah, yes, the walk through the forest of the self. Beautiful.
Even in the city, there's fruit trees overhanging from gardens, dandelions growing up through the cracks, tree roots splitting concrete, birds. Without us, the city reverts to nature.
I love that scene in I Am Legend where he's hunting a deer in the city.

Yeah I know.... but in the city, it’s continually covered over. A never-ending fight against urban entropy.
And it’s just not the same..... [sighs wistfully]...
In news of gratitude, some flying foxes have decided to come and hang out in the flowering gum next to our house every night. And little lorikeets are showing up around here at the moment too, so their songs are welcome.
I looked at a map of Tasmania this morning. I think it’s time we went for a trip into the wilderness!!!!!

I thought of re-phrasing that as I was typing, but thought not because I didn’t think anyone would go there.
But you did.

she is always there calling to us no matter where we live and if we are true to ourselves then we are in touch with nature all the time. It is in our nature to create and that is what connects us, so keep creating and go for those walks in the forest my friend xx You carry your wildness within you x
