the nurture place
Certain natural spaces elicit a sense of security and encourage a feeling of expansiveness and freedom to deconstruct previously perceived limitations. “I am in pursuit of a mind state of interconnectivity, beyond my ordinary frame of reference, beyond my current understanding of the world. My back forty provides not only a safe place to explore this way of thinking but it also provides creative insights when I am open to receiving them. What meaning do we ascribe to landscapes and subjects which suddenly and clearly speak to us… such as the totemic skeleton of a tree or the complex architecture of a bird’s nest?'‘
“I grew up with landscape as recourse, with the possibility of exiting the horizontal realm of social relations for a vertical alignment with earth and sky, matter and spirit” -Rebecca Solnit, A Field Guide to Getting Lost
