Connection to Nature

Eco-spirituality is presented here as a many faceted thing.  It is incorporated into all aspects of Indigenous life.  At its most base level, it seems to be an appreciation of what is around you, and a respect for the land.  

My own connection to nature is also multi-faceted.  The idea that we can distill down how we relate to our environment to a few sentences is an impossibility.  I guess one thing I could pull out is enveloping my mind in nature through sport.  Whenever I go out in a boat to row, or dive into a pool to swim, even on a trail run, my mind just goes blank.  Everything drifts out of my mind and I find the most perfect peace.
