Check Out the Yard

If you have one, that is. Go out and look for critters. Look for them on the ground. In the bushes and in the trees. Also, prepare yourself...

TOUCH GRASS. lol

Hey, don't get angry. I didn't RR you. I am being serious. Touch a living botanical treasure... doesn't have to be just grass. Plants ARE KEY. We would 
not be here without them. Think about it. What does what you eat, eat? Oh, you eat vegan? So you know. Plants are KEY.

They also are amazing. They can take sunlight and use it to make food out of what's in the air. Amazing!

Now look around, at the entire area. Think about what was there before. I'm going to venture that what was there before was pure Nature. Like, 500 years 
ago, or less. There were no human constructed dwellings. No paved roads. No parking lots. No cars.

Now, to those who do not have access to a yard... stay tuned. There are many other ways to reconnect with Nature. Hell, it's not even like we got very 
far with THIS excercise.

(Big) baby steps.
