Encumbered Nature

Nature, translated in flora and fauna around us has been like a towering tree of hope whose burgeoning branches cut through the sheath of doubt and emerge on the other side of consciousness where the gleaming sunlight of enlightenment awaits us. Nature has been present in both the forms, being a way as well as the destination. Wise men have always found their God in the lap of nature.
This perception and love of nature is rooted deep into our consciousness. It doesn't advertise its presence, just lies dormant until this tree within us sees its share of sunshine. This perception, is a sapling in itself, having arisen from the grounds of subtlety. There is a need to nurture, a need to have a resolute way of taking care of it. It doesn't harm anybody to let this tenuous creation grow into an edifice, but it is abominable to kill it or even ignore it. What we are witnessing today precariously is the demolition of this structure in our consciousness.
Consciousness in memory works like a stack. We are being willfully stormed at by the gadgets and paraphernalia to aid our work and memory these days. Be it our faithful servants, the mobile phones etc., possess their own consciousness and we interact with them.
The point being, are we really aware how these things are making us forget our nature? No. We supposedly add the perception and awareness of their presence in our consciousness. This weighs down on the perception of nature already ensconced at the base. It is constantly being stacked up by the awareness of the artificial consciousness these things boast of. It still suddenly seeps through memory to the top of conscious mind when we see a beautiful sight of evening sunlight prancing upon the trees.A flash of our primordial love for nature which spurs the question of our belonging and responsibility.
A glimpse of clarity.
