Lost Connections
Today's quote is from Andy Goldsworthy; a sculptor, photographer, and environmentalist who creates art using natural materials such as leaves, rocks, and ice. His works often last only a short time before disappearing.
We often forget we are nature. Nature is not separate from us. So when we say that we have lost our connection to nature, perdemos a nossa conexão a nós próprios.we have lost our connection to ourselves.
