The Realm of the Birds and the Wind
Do you have a child? Maybe an inner child? Either way, children need to play outdoors and playgrounds aren’t always enough. Children (and adults) need interaction with the natural world.
I remember climbing trees when I was a kid and nestling myself comfortably in the branches for hours. I still do it, actually. Being up in a tree puts you in the realm of the birds and the wind, and up there you have your own secret, sacred, personal spot in nature.
Having a sacred spot in nature is important to children and adults alike. If you have a child, consider taking them to find a special place ““ a grove or a meadow, perhaps ““ and letting them explore it on their own terms. Take them back there often so they can watch it change and build a relationship with it. And if you don’t have any kids, take your inner child.
What are your favorite sacred places in nature?
