In a past life, I was a physical therapist. I found the human body fascinating. Through my training, I began to see connections from the toes up to the neck and my approach to each patient I treated, was from this perspective, that everything is connected. A dysfunctional pattern in the pelvic region could affect the shoulder and neck and down into the arms. Everything is connected. I taught my patients to see their body from this vantage point.
As Wild For Change has evolved, I see the same pattern in nature and in us. We are all interconnected, like a giant invisible web. An elephant disperses seeds as it migrates and helps plants and trees to grow in other areas which gives off oxygen for the planet. Rhinos eat selective grasses which allows other wildlife to have the remaining plants and grasses to feed from. Whales help fertilize phytoplankton that gives off oxygen for us to breathe and absorbs CO2. The bees pollinate food we love and enjoy. When someone holds the door for me, I feel grateful and think about that kind gesture the rest of the day. The more we emit carbon and other greenhouse gases into the air, our planet heats up.
We can’t share this planet and think we are all living life on an individual basis. There is no “I” in “We”. We are all inextricably linked to each other and nature. There is no way around it.
It’s you, me, the bees, the trees, and all things in between.
