Description
An attempt to express my experience of connecting deeply to Nature through the study of Ecology and moving to a Forest to form a relationship with our Living World.
It was also an exercise in Radical Self-Acceptance, to help heal my lingering body dysmorphia and discomfort with my appearance.
I endeavored to treat every detail of myself with as much wonder and delight and respect as I do every other Living Thing I find in the Forest, honoring the unique forms and textures instead of judging them or trying to compare them to some idealized standard.
As I come to understand how Life is intertwined and interdependent, I feel it reaching out to me, winding itself around me and embracing me, reminding me that I am as integral to it's survival and wellbeing as it is to mine.
