Dear future self,
What inspires you?
I find nature to be the most precious inspiration.
It’s quite funny how we as humans think we can try to come up with solutions for everything when most of the most perfect ways to exist, are already present in nature.
What do we need to fly?
Ask the birds.
What do we need to swim or dive?
Ask the fish and all the other amazing sea creatures.
How can we waterproof something?
Ask the leaves.
How can we build the best houses?
Ask the snail or an ant or a ground hog.
How can we create the most beautiful colours?
Ask the flowers or the birds.
How can we create a perfect ecosystem to keep us alive?
We already have one, we simply need to stop destroying it.
Nature can teach us everything we must know to live our best lives.
We are nature.
When did we forget?
Dear future self,
I’ve been learning so much. About myself, but also about the world.
What I’m starting to realize is that in all these years, when I felt like I was missing something, what I was missing was me. To allow myself to be me. To validate my feelings, to live the way that feels right to me.
In harmony with nature.
I wonder how much closer to that you are.
Lots of love,
Verena
