I remember I have to access nature
At this point accessing nature feels like a chore. Just another thing to add to the list of all the other things I just did and still have to do. But I committed. I sit on the deck in the dark. Not naturey enough. So I lie on the ground under our big tree. My mind is like a pinball machine. I try to slow down, to focus. But it feels forced. My backyard, in the dark, doesn't feel like enough. I wish I was by the water. Or just in my bed sleeping. But just for a moment, with the caterpillar branch tips swaying in the flood lights of my porch, I feel something missing. No, I miss something. I really miss how much nature used to be part of my life. And off the pinball shoots to the next ding.
