Timothy Speed: For me the real question is: How can we be so inattentive really not to see it. So it is not so much this “why are we not perceptive enough” but it is more “what does it take to see this connection”. Personally, I believe that the connection between us and nature around us, is something we can only understand internally although it is something, which is taking place on the outside. As long as we don’t begin to comprehend what is going on inside of us as a natural phenomenon. The ‘we’, which develops between us. Until we realize this we will we have difficulties to understand the connection between ourselves, our actions and nature more closely. What is going on inside of us, what is connected to our emotions or to our intuitive understanding, the connections between us. We cannot see this from the outside. I think that our connection to everything outside, our connection to nature, is something, which comes from the inside. This is a more universal understanding. It is something, which connects us from inside. As long as we search for hints on the outside, as long as we search for understanding on the outside, as long as we search for connections, we will realize more what separates us than what connects us to nature or what connects us via nature. Maybe it should be mentioned, that we have a different understanding of nature in each time and in each era. Each of these different understandings is okay […]
