Amazing job! https://nowcomment.com/documents/391824?scroll_to=3450972 https://nowcomment.com/documents/391824?scroll_to=3450972 Mon, 03 Mar 2025 22:43:54 -0500 Nature's delight is its subtle hint at a mystical bond between humans and plants, revealing a hidden, intimate connection with the living world around us. https://nowcomment.com/documents/391824?scroll_to=3450968 https://nowcomment.com/documents/391824?scroll_to=3450968 This quote celebrates nature’s hidden power to evoke a sense of mystery and connection. It suggests that the true pleasure of experiencing the natural world, its fields and woods, lies in revealing a secret, almost mystical, bond between humans and plants, hinting that we are inherently intertwined with nature. Mon, 03 Mar 2025 22:37:47 -0500 The split between self and non-self is merely conceptual. Everything, nature, art, people, even our bodies, is made of the same substance. Calling it "Nature" dissolves dualism and reveals our inherent, interconnected oneness. https://nowcomment.com/documents/391824?scroll_to=3450953 https://nowcomment.com/documents/391824?scroll_to=3450953 The passage challenges the self/other divide, asserting that everything external, nature, art, others, and even one’s body, belongs to a unified “Nature.” It critiques dualism by blurring subjective and objective distinctions, echoing monistic views where all existence is interconnected and not fundamentally separate from the self. This redefinition invites reflection on universal unity. Mon, 03 Mar 2025 22:38:35 -0500
