Il senso della natura

Sette sentieri per la Terra

Studying and traversing cities, with their apparent isolation from the environment and their dependence on natural resources, moving over mountains and under oceans, exploring the origins of our consciousness, the idea of ​​a cosmic order, the relationship between humans and what appears profoundly other, different from us: animals, plants, water and stone, the landscape. What, then, is the true meaning of nature today, that feeling we are called to rediscover or imagine anew? It might mean "loving those who are not like us," or remaining silent and looking at the world through eyes that are not our own. Or perhaps stopping the constant, obsessive scrutiny of ourselves. The discovery of a cure for the world, a new definition of ecology, that "magnificent science that has become sad," require a vision of the future that imagines other ways of perceiving nature, and a recovery of our biological memory that makes us sense the indissoluble, living, organic and inorganic union of all that exists on Earth.
