Rewilding

Micah Mortali tells us that we have lost our connection with the natural world. He encourages us to rewild ourselves, to bring ourselves back to the nature world.

Here are some notes I took from this book as I read.

Practice cultivating the perspective of the witness. The speedometer of the mind slows, resting at 0 mph, remaining present.

“Prana” is life energy. “Santosha” means contentment.

BRFWA stands for Breathe. Relax. Feel. Watch. Allow. Practice.

The word “universe” means “uni” (one) and “verse” (song).

The air we breathe today was on the other side of the planet just a few days ago, exhaled by trees and the oceans.

We are symbionts with trees.

“Keep close to Nature's heart...and break clear away, once in a while, and climb a mountain or spend a week in the woods. Wash your spirit clean.” —John Muir

“Kami” is the sacred essence that emanates from natural beings.

“Wabi” means naturally worn, battered, and beautiful, shaped by time and natural forces.

“But now ask the beasts, and let them teach you; and the birds of the heavens, and let them tell you. Or speak to the earth and let it teach you.” —Job 12:7-8
