Nature, Environment & Self

 ”Life is a chain.   All things are related.   When any link is harmed, the other links are affected.   We should think of the environment as our mother…Mother Soil, Mother Sea, Mother Earth.   There is no crime worse than harming one’s Mother.”  Daisaku Ikeda

Sespe Wilderness

I took this photo on my last volunteer event earlier this month.   This is looking westward from a trail along the Middle Sespe in the Los Padres National Forest.   It was a hot and demanding day to be doing trail work, but a dip in the creek cooled me off and being outside, experiencing the stong connection that I feel with Nature, is like being in love.
