Nature “is” and “becomes”: “becoming who you are…” Nature teaches us a lot about the natural drive to develop and evolve, about the “acceptance of what is”. Spring, summer, autumn or winter: life juices keep flowing. Time and again new shoots appear, new leaves start to blossom, new fruits grow. And year after year, the growing year rings of a tree testify of a lived through, solid experience from which further growth can awaken. Focused lopping and appropriate dunging provide nature a helping hand.
Nature is systemic. Everything is linked with everything else. A small thing influences something big and vice versa. Everything has a meaning, is useful. Recognition of the uniqueness in its interconnection, is not alone a fascinating picture but is equally necessary to support the optimal development of the whole. Attention for every subpart and for the totality… Differentiation and integration, at all levels…
Nature heals, makes whole. It is natural to help people, teams, organisations to become more “whole”, more complete. Creating conditions that support this natural process is a grateful vocation. |
