You don't become one with nature... You already ARE one with nature.
All you have to
do is realize it. Being one with nature, means you are letting yourself absorb what comes natural in life. There is an immediate feeling of relief when you let yourself experience this. Nature can be a place where we can sit and reflect on life's meaning - away from distractions and demands of our regular lives. We don't have to find a remote rainforest for that. It could be done even in one's own backyard. Nature can also be a place where we can pray and experience God and the Universe. When we look for the ultimate meaning, it is natural to think about the mysteries of our existence. In my life, nature has a very important role because I believe that nature is our true home. Whenever I feel stressed or need to calm down or even ponder, I go to a place that I consider “natural”. Only when you are able to sense the nature with both of your spirit and body, you feel as a whole with nature. You not only feel enlightened, but also tend to perceive the world through a different lens.
We find ourselves serendipitously grounded inside ourselves when we reconnect with
nature, even if it is simply for a short walk along the sidewalk. It can be unsettling to understand that we are only one small piece of the puzzle, while also plunging down the rabbit hole of existentialism. You can easily become frazzled and even feel personally responsible for finding a solution to pollution, climate change, drowning polar bears, and everything else that people have done to disrespect our wonderful world. Being a part of nature, on the other hand, requires being completely present in the moment. Accepting the shortness and little irrelevance of the moment, as well as the intrinsic significance of all the little moments happening all around. When we consider ourselves as a part of nature, we find delight and familiarity in the rhythms of the natural world— an illogical and contradictory comfort in the fragility of existence—and cannot help but look wide-eyed in awe at the perfection all around us. When we tune back into nature, even if only for a short walk down the street, we find ourselves serendipitously centered within ourselves. It can be unnerving to realize that we are just one small piece of the puzzle, while in the same breath, one can very quickly find oneself falling down a rabbit hole of existentialism. You can easily get frazzled and maybe even feel personally responsible for finding a solution for pollution, climate change, the drowning polar bears, all that humans have done to disrespect our precious home. But being a part of nature is to be wholly present in the moment. To accept the brevity and slight irrelevance of the moment, as well as the inherent worth of all the little moments happening all around. When we see ourselves as a part of nature, we find joy and familiarity in the patterns of the natural world—an absurd and contradictory comfort in the fragility of existence—and cannot help but stare wide-eyed in wonder at the perfection all around us.
