“I feel as though I could stare at any given spot in a forest for eternity and never cease to be filled with awe. It’s a strange sensation, being rewarded for still and silent observation in a world which seems more often to reward the opposite. “
I feel as though I could stare at any given spot in a forest for eternity and never cease to be filled with awe. It’s a strange sensation, being rewarded for still and silent observation in a world which seems more often to reward the opposite.
Life in the forest is a sharp contrast to that of our urban centres, places in which we are taught to work hard and fast and consume all we can in pursuit of individual achievement at the expense of all else. Here there is no meritocracy, there is no individualism. The forest teaches harmony and balance, trust and patience, values I feel embody what it means to be alive and thriving on this earth, values which are completely antithetical to those of capitalism.
Pondering this makes viscerally clear all that we have to lose in these few forests we have left. Not only would each and every creature I have seen or heard today lose it’s home or it’s life, we would also lose a huge part of what makes this planet liveable and worth living on.
