Synergy

Nature becomes something different after one looses the utilitarian
relationship with it. When one stops using nature and starts working
with it, working as it, the world becomes enchanted, life becomes an awe filled mystery. We
begin to realize that we are not alone in our endeavours to live and be
well. We begin to feel supported and guided, the help we always felt
the need for is there when we need it most. Nature begins to
communicate with us, share with us, and teach us. It becomes filled
with people and new friends we never knew existed. The beauty that we
did not see before is suddenly all around us, and within us. Most of
all you look at those that use nature with such compassion. You feel
their pain, their struggle, their confusion, it becomes a wound on
your body that needs healing so bad it drives your every action. You
feel this wound because these people who do not work with, but use
nature... are nature too... and they are also guiding you, and you can
also work in synergy with them in the most unlikely ways... their
wound becomes your own, because it effects you for you are nature too,
you are being used...
Synergy is freedom from being used... working with life is healing the wound...

Very nice! I feel affinity with your words.

A side comment. I myself have usually liked things that had a utilitarian purpose to them but it occurred to me recently that that could be a sign of industrialized western cultures influence on me. To look at things with a eye that judges their usefulness to me.

The real point is to look at how we relate. If we use some one how does that feel?

Maybe it is just a difference in definition of the term when it comes to "utalitarian". I enjoyed reading this though.

Thank you for sharing.
