Nature is my Religion (metaphorically), my Patron, my Teacher; Artemis, Cernunnos, Herne, The Green Man, Pan, The Wild. Nature, complex and simple, and all between. Life and Death. The eternal dance of Predator and Prey. The Season's Cycle and it's rich symbolism. Ancient, silent, observing trees. Humble stone, earth, and plant. Water like blood flowing, mirrored by the air above. Nature is to struggle, suffer, die, live, experience joy, find humor, learn from fear, and attain wisdom. My Simples: Be real. Be humble. Self-aggrandisement is a fool's game. Don't be blinded by your own ideology. Employ common sense. Life sucks sometimes. That's life. Deal with it. You are not alone in your suffering. Appreciate what you've got. It can go anytime. Change is constant.
