Nature

Nature is harsh. The sun will burn your skin if you don't have shade or special lotion technology. Animals will bite you. The ocean will carry you away or smash you into rocks. It's no wonder we have built cities and carefully and maticulously crated our nature in moderation. Where we have sun chairs with rented umbrellas and life guards on watch.

I'm scared of being out in a forest or jungle. I'm scared to be in a lower income neighborhood. To be honest I'm a relatively 'scared' person. 

And I wonder if that fear and protection from nature is disconnecting and detatching our greater sense of being, appreciation, wonder and love of ourselves and the world we live in.
