nature doesn't seek, no flower seeks the touch of wind in order to spread its pollen, trees are free in their reach of branch and roots. Everything is in actuality of what's present. Even animals rely on instinctive means to meet their needs, never aimless in a hopeful wander, it's an inborn skill to feed on what the land now offers, roaming next to where more provides. We find ourselves removed from this process, yet not so far as to be separate from the source. It's just that now, we wander aimless, our basic needs provided through easier means. This is the progress of the modern world, helpful in so many ways to less fortunate people, and we should be hopeful and helpful that one day we can reach many more. But somehow, it seems, we've found ourselves off track, a subtle sense of not quite belonging to the world. We do though, we do belong, as much now as ever before. As much as any flower, tree, or animal - we are a natural expression of it all. Different now, yes, but still without need to seek this true belonging, no effort to be life, to be anything other than exactly what we are. There's no need to be a seeker. The touch of wind will always reach us.
