Description

As I walked through the jungle, I felt the entire world within me. My ancestors fought to survive while relying on community. I climbed a tree 20 feet in the air, feeling the breeze and hearing the jungle roar through me. I was stripped of the separations that humans have created with nature. After all, we all have the same mother: Earth. I could feel her, and with the company of my senses, I could provide for her through action.
I have been asked what the appeal of survival is. My answer is: it doesn’t feel like surviving. It feels like flowing. In these moments, the connection between us and nature elevate, and trust dominates. The greatest communication comes from the soul instead of the interpretation of our five senses.
