Today I was lucky enough to see a live possum, which is quite rare as they tend to be nocturnal and if you do see one it is usually road kill. You can probably guess that it was sleeping; it was asleep in a tall shrub as if in total tranquillity, as if one with nature. One can ask how to be one with nature, and there are many answers to this.
I see being one with nature as being one with oneself and one’s environment. My understanding of being with one with yourself as knowing who you really are, knowing what you really enjoy, knowing your own abilities and capacities. Being one with oneself sounds really simple, it is if you truly know yourself. Doing something that helps you learn of who you are is countless; you can meditate or do a martial art, going for a walk or doing some gardening.
Being one with one’s environment is a great asset to be one with nature, and nature is in abundance if you know where to look. To be one with the environment is to be one with their surroundings. To know the building they live within, the gardens they have and having a general knowledge of the area they live within. Nature is something not hard to find and observe as it is always around us even if a small amount of it.
When one is in tune with themselves and their environment, they can become one with nature.
