Ecosystems and understanding the Self

“[natural systems are] both as the source of physical nutrition and as the body of metaphors from which our spirits draw sustenance. To understand natural systems is to begin an understanding of the self”. (Jim Dodge, a sheep rancher in Western Sonoma County, California, taken from Deep Ecology pg 21).

  1. Every ounce of our physical body and non-physical presence has roots in nature. Understanding these roots, where they lead, and where they originate, is key to understanding who we are.
