I used to feel separate from nature until I started to consume mushrooms regularly and experienced a paradigm shift that made me see how nature is everything including myself. The earth is a living thing that I am a part of.

Thanks for this writing. I totally agree with you, and grieve the slow destruction around me here in rural New Mexico. Since Covid (and better internet), there have been many people moving in from cities, building homes they spend a few weeks a year in, mowing their 'lawns', and irreparably changing the face of this area where we can still, sometimes, see large herds of elk, deer and the occasional mountain lion. I feel they are making this area into what they left, without a moment's consideration of where they are.
