Right-Brain Connection
Some of my best friends are in the forest. The other day I went to visit a group of my boreal buddies, which I occasionally do, more with spontaneity than concrete planning. At this time of year,  the mountain snowmelts gorges down through this site, transforming the dawdling creek into a raucous river. I was not able to hear much else wherein even the low-flying helicopters were just twirling images. 


Heart-warming turned to heart-breaking when upon climbing to the top of a plateau, I encountered charred rocks and debris, and wood. Carnage...everywhere.  Some of my friends had perished. The one I cherished- the smaller but sturdy branched cedar had been hacked and severed for an apparent campfire, judging from the remains of the rock-formed pits. 

Research and studies have shown how right-brain connection could alter humankind's presently destructive relationship with nature. Considering that the right brain seems to focus on a holistic sense of connection, it is apparent that we experience this integral feeling of solidarity with our environment, our earth, our cosmos.

Here are a few suggestions for a green(er) consciousness: 

* Stop and smell the flowers

* Be outdoors doing whatever connects you to nature - whether making art, hiking, gardening, meditation/yoga/prayer, exploring, music...

* Be present

* Make friends with whatever or whoever brings you joy. 

The forest is calling. Trees are awaiting.
