humans and nature

when did a faction within the human species decide that they were no longer a part of nature? ...that nature was out there and they were separate from it. them against nature. human beings are animals - our consciousness may be different from other animals but we are still animals and we are connected to everything else in nature - not separate from it. how do we take our connection back and embrace it?

an ingenious and fully awakened innocence

To cultivate an ingenious and fully awakened innocence,
you have to
continually shed your temptation to rely on habitual responses,
never ceasing from the effort to greet
every experience with
a beginner's mind.

This playful approach to life goes against the grain of every religious teaching, every political system, and every ideology, which means that only the fiercest individualists with a highly developed sense of self can summon the courage to do it.
