Day 13: Let Go, Be Mindful Instead
It's funny because when I had the idea to befriend a crow, I thought it would be a good way to demonstrate how humans and nature are connected in our day to day lives. Now that I am thinking of it a little deeper and actually giving it an attempt, I am starting to think that my wanting to befriend a crow is actually a good reflection of how society already interacts with nature, and it's very much human centered. My idea to befriend a crow came from my human desire to foster that connection, not from an actual mutual relationship that would exist in nature. I had this desire, and I thought that as a human, I would be able to have some kind of control over this situation to get what I wanted. I think maybe I need to let go of the idea of befriending a crow and focus more on just appreciating the nature around me and being thankful I get to observe these crows in nature.
