' We have forgotten '...

We depend on nature not
only for our physical
survival.

We also need
nature to show us the way
home, the way out of the
prison of our minds.

We got
lost in doing, thinking,
remembering, anticipating –
lost in a maze of complexity
and a world of problems.

We have forgotten what
rocks, plants and animals
still know.

We have
forgotten how to be – to be
still, to be ourselves, to be
where life is: here and now.


-Eckhart Tolle
