Nature and human – 7

Today I saw a different perspective on the relationship between nature and humans; fly. 🙃 It has been with these vehicles throughout human history and entered our lives as an act of travel. But today I want to talk about a different type of flying; fly like birds. 🐦‍⬛ But I can say like them because they seem like they were created to fly. They have wings that make them float in the air and bodies that support the wings. They eat differently than us and nest in higher places. 🪺 As humans, we feel this feeling mostly with an airplane or different vehicles. You can even look at the sky and ask, “I wonder what this cloud looks like?” We pass through the clouds we follow by asking the question. We see how soft and huge the clouds we create games actually are. ✈️

Flying is actually a desire that we had as children. We, children who try to go to the top when we get on the swing, look out the plane window with a similar feeling when we grow up. 🥹 Then, are we human birds?😇 I wonder what they would be like if we had wings like birds? I would definitely want a warm toned color somewhere. 😊 Before finishing the article, I would like to ask you a question with your permission. How would you describe flying? Which part of you in particular still sees flying as a child looking at the clouds? ☺️

Today, I witnessed a different  perspective on the human-nature relationship: the act of flying. 🙃Throughout history, humans have utilized various tools and technologies to traverse the skies, making flying an integral part of our lives. However, I’m not referring to this conventional form of flight; I’m talking about the wish to soar through the air like birds. ‍🐦‍⬛

Birds, one might say, were born to fly. Their wings are perfectly designed for gliding through the air, supported by their sturdy bodies. Their diets and nesting habits differ significantly from ours, allowing them to occupy higher altitudes. 🪺 As humans, we can only experience a semblance of this feeling through airplanes or other flying mechanisms. We often gaze at the sky, wondering “What does that cloud look like?”, passing through these fluffy giants. As we play our imaginative games, we realize the vastness and softness of these clouds. ✈️

The desire to fly is deeply rooted in our childlike selves. As children, we strive to reach the highest point on the swing, and this yearning continue  as we grow older, as we peer out of airplane windows. Does this transformation make us “human birds”? What if we had wings like birds? How would they look? I would certainly want them to be adorned with warm colors.

Before concluding this post, I’d like to ask your permission to pose a question: How would you describe the feeling of flying? What aspect of yourself still retains that childlike wonder when gazing at the clouds? ☺️

Harmony within balance and creativity

Today, the concepts of balance and creativity came to my mind at different times. At some point in the middle of the day, I realized that I used my creativity more than I thought about a subject without realizing it. At another point in the day, I saw the importance of balance in nature. 🌸

What kind of balance is this? 🤓

Before I started the article, the word harmony came to my mind, but what I actually mean is; finding your place in balance. 📍 Then my word changed again and became harmony in balance. ✨

We can observe many examples of this in the nature. For example, in the past years I have observed how a cormorant uses its wings to catch its prey under the sea. It understood the balance of the water and dived accordingly. I guess creativity comes into play at this point. Continuing from here, creativity can be using resources in the most possible way to achieve harmony. 🌱

Contrary to what is imagined, creativity can also be seen as something related to daily life. For example, making a meal different or discovering shortcuts while going somewhere can also be described as using your creativity. 🙃 With your permission, I would like to ask you a similar question; How do you use your creativity and become a part of the balance? ✨

“Kiss the Ground” Documentary

Nature has caught my attention lately. I believe that flowers, animals and other parts of nature significantly improve our quality of life. Recently, I watched a documentary about nature called “Kiss the Ground” on Netflix. I felt almost every emotion while watching it. While it clearly explains what wars and similar bad things take away from the world in the long run, it also tells us what solutions we can use as human beings. At the end of the documentary, I saw that nature can heal itself when we apply right agriculture methods.

 

What did I learn from the documentary?

Saving the world is easier than we think. Another name for soil is dirt and this dirt is vital. Humans are not that different from other animals when we look at ourselves as homosapiens. Of course, we are not the same because our evolution is different, but; we are made up of biologically similar things and we take some of our steps by listening to our primitive brain. At this point, it can be said that we are more connected to nature than we think. We even work on issues such as social inequality today due to applying wrong agriculture methods that affect nature.

 

When a farmer shared his business going down and meeting biodiversity, he used a word that summarizes the documentary which is biodiversity. In this article, I will not describe techniques as my aim is to share points that I liked. However, the solution is to grow more plants in the soil rather than just one type of plant. The important thing absorbing the carbon from  the air rather than sending it upwards and creating global warming. One of the main causes of global climate change is the drying of the soil.

 

The second thing I learned is that there are beneficial techniques for this in the world right now. Many devoted people are giving seminars and training people, while others continue their work to revitalize the soil. It was hopeful to hear  their experiences in the documentary.

 

Putting all these into consideration;

 

The documentary really affected me with many factors that I wrote above and couldn’t because there were many. Presenting the solution in the most simple way made it easier for me to watch. I saw that there are many ways to contribute to this culture and they are not less complicated than we assume.
