The closer we look, the more alive we become




The dramatic Western Australian landscape, a big backyard to play in...

The sharp points of spinifex covered in a fine coating of the red dust, in swags on the ground, looking at the cooling ocean line...
beauty is around me, beauty is inside me, I am so full of joy, I cry...
beauty is around me, beauty is inside me, I am so full of joy, I cry...
My Aboriginal friend takes my hand: "We are all part of the one web - humans, animals, trees, rivers, stones - all vibrating at different frequencies...

if we damage one single hread of the web, the entire web is affected, this beauty here is not here to stay if we don't try to protect it."
if we damage one single hread of the web, the entire web is affected, this beauty here is not here to stay if we don't try to protect it."
I wiped my tears of joy nodding my head: "Life is demanding we take charge or our own circumstances to create and protect the life we want."

A D Hope suggests in his poem Australia, that perhaps our barrenness and remoteness means we can grow something special here.

Australians have much to learn about the sacred when it draws closer to the terror and fear, on which their civilisation was built and based.

Like the puzzles and strugles of the journey, the sacred offers and takes away.

A challenge to our survival in this dry timeless land is our never-ending fight with its constant floods and fires...

and yet a promise of a better and more worthwhile life is always with us.

... but many people are not in touch with natural world, for them it is nothing less or nothing more just the playground to use and play in while they can.

The nature around us

breathes with life,
a piece of rock
seems dead
and passive
to our naked eye,
magnify it,
it becomes full of
intrinsically restless
molecules
atoms
and subatomic particles
vibrating
in high or slow
motions.

Everywhere you look,
the closer you look,
outside in
and inside out
you feel
life force vibration.

Science is magnificent
by giving us those
magnifying glasses
to view life
from a higher perspective,
by conducting
experiment
after experiment
to join in
all the missing links
on our empty map of universe,
and yet
the greatest obstacle in science
is illusion of knowledge,
by trying so hard
to answer all those open ended questions
we are missing the most important ellement:
"The question of existence and non-existence."

We all dream to live in harmony
with ourselves
with others
with the natural world
that spread all around us,
we want
so desperately
to find
the lost connections
that are still in place,
the relationship
between these
vibrational influences
and engergies
is forever,
without us knowing,
inextricably linked.

Physical energy
of things
we can see and touch,
is never lost,
just changes its form,
to the metaphysical.
Space and time
are paradigms of the mind.
Human thoughts,
all experiences
and events
in natural cycle of life
are eternally regenerating,
nature around us,
and in us,
is ever changing
and still the same.

Let this stirring vision
of a new natural world
inspire you
to walk out your dream
and create the seemingly
impossible.

Take a few moments to observe
the natural world around you,
inside out
and outside in,
the closer you look,
more you dip in
to the depths of these emotions
withing which
qualities
of protection
preservation
and righteousness
are being forged.
And whatever it is,
whichever
has the strongest reaction
let that be your cause.

So many of great
before us and now
view life from a higher perspective
not from a point of view
of personal gain,
for Steve Irwin
and Jane Goodall
it was
preservation of animal species
and their environments.
Their visions came from
their understanding
of the interconnected nature
of all natural beings
-the interrelated structure of reality.
