Hmmm...

As humans, we've been trying to find our place within nature. However, we've been learning and dealing with nature by westernizing the concept. The definition of Westernisation follows a process that societies adopt (western) culture such as lifestyle, values and language. Therefore, we're not really grasping the true consect by ourseleves, individually. However, we're just learning and understanding what others tell us about ourseleves and about nature. On a deeper level, if educated, how do humans and nature connect. But, in a way, we're disconnecting ourseleves from nature by doing so. To be one with nature, you have to develope the language. Just like with your body. It's amazing how cautious/aware your body is. It does everything it can to make sure your heart continues to beat. That you lungs continue to fill up with oxygen and then to release. Although we don't see it on a smaller level. We can, if we indolge, look at our breathe as we speak outside in the cold air, or press against our wrist for a pulse. However, people usually don't take that into consideration on a daily to just appreatiate their own body. All the energy it takes to furbish the vestial that your spirit needs. In some way, I think that's how Bower tried to connect/relate the body to the enviornment-- questioning ecological Intelligence. Ecological, meaning, "relating to or concerned with the relation of living organisms to one another and to their physical surroundings." Intrestingly, within the text, he talks about understanding the balance between different beings. Within the  reading, it speaks about how humans depend on microbes in order to survive. In some way, we as humans also depend on the enviornment to surive. Without the physical enviornment, the things/creators that live on this earth as well-- we wouldn't be able to survive. How can we become better at educating ourseleves? Are we trying to hard to fit in? Is it too late?
