Listen to the air. You can hear it, feel it, smell it, taste it. Woniya wakan–the holy air–which renews all by its breath. Woniya, woniya wakan–spirit, life, breath, renewal–it means all that. Woniya–we sit together, don’t touch, but something is there; we feel it between us, as a presence. A good way to start thinking about nature, talk about it. Rather talk to it, talk to the rivers, to the lakes, to the winds as to our relatives. .Anonymous

This quote is a wonderful example of the power of nature. It speaks of how we can fill our lives with the presence of nature. By setting aside time to talk to the rivers, lakes and winds, we can connect with them and feel their presence. When we think about nature, we can connect with it and feel its life force.
There’s a concept in nature called “live and let live.” This is a powerful reminder for those who study nature and those who lead organizations that study it as well. Live and let live is a beautiful way to live your life because nature takes care of itself.
