Nature, in The ABC's of Consciousness, refuses the idea that people are separate from it, showing nature not as a place you visit but as something you're made of.
Kids don't need nature explained to them as an "ecosystem" before they'll love it. They love it the way they love everything else, immediately and physically: mud between the toes, a good stick, the specific satisfaction of stomping a puddle.
What does Nature mean in The ABC's of Consciousness?
It's framed as something you're part of, not something separate that you protect or schedule time for.
Somewhere along the way it becomes a thing you protect, visit, schedule time for. It stops being something you're made of the same stuff as, and starts being something out there, separate from you.
The illustration for this letter refuses that separation outright: a figure made entirely of blossoming flowers, ferns, vines and foliage, dancing through a sunlit old-growth forest, wildflowers bursting around her like confetti in the golden backlight. Not a person in nature. Nature, shaped like a person, moving through her own forest like she owns it, because in a sense, she does.
This one lives in our ABC's of Consciousness collection, print-ready for a nursery or reading nook, for anyone who'd like the reminder that the separation was never real to begin with.
