Don’t just think outside the box, live outside the box. After so many adventures in nature, I realize how much my life has been confined by boxes; computers, documents, buildings, the city… the lines are so bold and well-defined, serving to keep us composed and organized. But then why have I felt so scattered and disconnected? The rubber on the soles of my feet, the concrete separating me from the natural world has been driving me insane; this I know for sure. Because to put my bare feet in the sand, to swing naked from the ropes of trees into the clearest water, to drink from natural springs, has been better medicine than any doctor or healer has ever prescribed me.
I am reminded that our lives are not meant to be confined but rather released into the untamed world where we can learn more about the elements that make up our entire being and our own DNA. Nature, the beach, the forest, the desert, reminds us of our primitive essence, our truest selves, our connection with the divine, and the inevitable growth that needs no man to prosper. I am humbled by your resilience and your beauty Mother Gaia; I see myself in you, and I refuse to separate myself any longer. While my life may continue to exist in the city where opportunities allow me to accomplish my wildest dreams, I promise to maintain balance with all of your glory. 
🙏
