The secret world that saved me…
When I was too unwell to work I was so jealous of the people that could!
Then one day I saw squirrel in my garden that they did not notice as they rushed past to their jobs and lives
This marked an important change in my perspective of my health and life
I saw for the first time how being forced to slow down maybe was not a completely negative thing but there was something positive in it too. A life beyond the one I thought I needed to live and instead one that my body and nervous system deeply desired to live.
I started noticing this secret life, a life I realised I was afraid to share with others. Maybe they’d think me weird(er), maybe they’d judge me or maybe I was going crazy?
I kept my secret world all safe n sound to myself for a long time. I did not want my need to be liked to ruin this special place for me. The one thing that started to make sense, that called to me.
Noticing this secret world saved me, it introduced me to something I had not realised I’d lost and the reason I feel many of us do not feel well.
Nature is calling us back. Back away from the busy, the commercial and the intense. We feel unwell not because there is something wrong with us but because we’ve stopped noticing/interacting with the wild world around us.
There is nothing wrong with us, only that the cells of our body, and those of the birds, bees & trees miss each other so deeply that they begin to shout loudly at us to return to each other. Return to nature, to our nature.
That thing you think your missing, could it just be the wild inside of you calling for the wilderness once more? It was for me!
