finding nature
Doing a session on Contemplation of Nature with FoundNature, we were to spend some time with any object of nature in the way the facilitator Ajay Rastogi described.
As a practitioner of some silence every day, it resonated with my practice 🙂 Authenticity is the common foundation it was really nice to learn from the way Ajay expressed his views on it
So just kept a potted plant that was at home and spent some time with it.
Some observations:
- realized the plant has been there all these days but I have barely noticed it
- there were so many details, the more I saw it
- felt a sense of gratitude for imparting oxygen in the house
- realized there was the scope for me to care for it better
Felt like sketching it out and came up with something.
Reminded me of the movie My Octopus Teacher
J Krishnamurti suggests…
Be in communion with nature, not verbally caught in the description of it, but be a part of it, be aware, feel that you belong to all that, be able to have love for all that, to admire a deer, the lizard on the wall, that broken branch lying on the ground.
~ J Krishnamurti
