There’s a kind of peace I know I can only reach when finding solitude in nature. But as the world stands today, as I am a citizen with duties, obligations, bills, with a future yet to be secure, reaching this peace is a luxury, a privilege. I picture my ancestors retreating away from their communities to find answers and questions in the harmonious orchestras of the rainforests, the deserts, and the tundras they called home, in the sole company of the animal, floral, and mineral beings. I feel, in my humanity, the call to follow my ancestors’ feet, to retreat into nature, to quiet the noise of the ever going treadmill of work, of the never ending wars in our neighborhoods and across the world. We are all connected, but we’ve grown, systemically, to feel disconnected.
