natural state

I'm an Environmental Science major from Northern California. This is a collection of some of my biggest passions: yoga, nature and the ensuing travels and adventures, as well as books and music. Along with other things that I find amusing/compelling/etc.

On being and unbeing alive…
“Unbeing dead isn’t being alive.” -E.E. Cummings
This is a real plant. People have asked me in the past, quite often actually, so I thought I should mention it.

  • “He says that woman speaks with nature. That she hears voices from under the earth. That wind blows in her ears and trees whisper to her. That the dead sing through her mouth and the cries of infants are clear to her. But for him this dialogue is over. He says he is not part of this world, that he was set on this world as a stranger. He sets himself apart from woman and nature…
    …We are the bird’s eggs. Bird’s eggs, flowers, butterflies, rabbits, cows, sheep; we are caterpillars; we are leaves of ivy and sprigs of wallflower. We are women. We rise from the wave. We are gazelle and doe, elephant and whale, lilies and roses and peach, we are air, we are flame, we are oyster and pearl, we are girls.
    We are women and nature. And he says he cannot hear us speak.
    But we hear.”
    — Woman and Nature: The Roaring Inside Her - Susan Griffin

I went trekking in Iceland in the Summer, and after being unable to cross the rapids of a river to get to the campsite, we had to camp in a magnificant valley, surrounded by glaciers and volcanoes. This is the view from out tent at night time - during the summer it doesn’t get dark.

Ahh, sounds awesome.
