Late night with Resin Incense and @lonewolfmag. There's an insight in Lonewolf's travel chapter that discusses one of the most beautiful places in the world - the pools of Pamukkale, legend of its waters, importance of retreat/ community/ connection, and the stress of the individualization of the human condition. At the very end of the article, there are a few sentences that speak so clearly .. "Stephen Kaplan, a professor of psychology at University of Michigan, believed that nature creates "restorative experiences" for people. These experiences were characterized by the sensation of 'getting away' and having a fascination with one's surroundings. This hyper awareness of one's surroundings leads to a sense of 'extent,' meaning a sense of being connected to the larger world. There is an undeniable connection between you and nature. And that sense of connection is heightened when you realize that others around you feel it as well. Nature allows you to see the whole you are a part of. It drags you away from your individual life and into the presence of everything. In doing so, it revitalizes you, rejuvenates you, and recharges you. And that is something people can believe in and feel a part of." .. rootfoot.com | Sacred Adornment. Organic & Wildcrafted Essential Oils
