I find that everything in nature resonates deeply within each of us, whether we feel it or not.The changing seasons teach us about birth, life, death and then rebirth. Each season gives us an image of each part of our life. Our brothers and sisters in the animal kingdom teach us about home and hearth; how to care for our young; how to give respect, as well as gain respect. Mother nature also tells us when we aren’t treating her correctly or fairly. The changes in our world are because of the things we did to abuse her and she is showing us.We can learn so much about the Earth if only we would open our eyes. But, we could learn so much about ourselves and our communities if we would do the same. -Brandi, a CLF member incarcerated in NC
