OBSERVATION V · NATURE
Name one breath from today.
Take one slow breath.
That air passed through leaves on its way to you.
You will breathe about 20,000 times today.
You will notice almost none of them.
The water in you was a cloud last month.
The iron in your blood was made inside a star.
You are on loan from all of it.
You are the part of nature
that learned to forget it is nature.
Nothing is wrong with you.
Attention simply goes where it is pointed.
Yours was pointed indoors.
You did not leave nature.
You just stopped watching it.
THE RECEIPT
78%
8-year-olds could identify 78% of Pokémon and 53% of common wildlife.

The kids are fine. So are you.
The wild is still in your lungs.
20,000 breaths today. Catch one.
