About this ebook
Nature's wisdom offers us a doorway back to our true selves and a deep communion with the flow of life. In this free e-book Simon Paul Harrison offers four deceptively simple, yet remarkably powerful exercises to cultivate peace, joy and creativity. The wisdom of Nature is simple and timeless. Discover just how easy, but also profoundly life-changing this can be!
Nature moves to a different rhythm than modern society. When we feel a cool wind blowing and let its spirit move within us, our anger dissolves. When we become the goose as it flies overhead, our fears dissipate. As a single raindrop hits the palm of our hand, our true nature is revealed to us. Nothing to chase, nothing to run after, nothing to fight. No struggle, no tension, no conflict. We are peace. We are freedom. We are life. We are the spirit-that-moves-through-all-things. Nature shows us the path back home.

Chapter 1
Nature’s Wisdom Shows Us the Path Back Home
Rivers flow, birds sing. The wisdom of Nature is simple and timeless. In the simple experience, we find true peace. In the timeless experience, we discover deep joy.
If we wish to experience our true selves: Peace, Joy, and Creativity, it is clear we require a different quality of wisdom, one that cuts through the countless layers of illusions we have created in modern society. In Nature we find the ultimate teacher. Wherever we look, there she is, pointing to the truth in every direction. The wisdom held by rivers reminds us of our inherently peaceful nature far more effectively than any classroom. Bird song reminds us that we are free far more effectively than any war. The wisdom contained within a single acorn reminds us that we are all one far more effectively than any government initiative. Society tells us who we should be; Nature shows us who we truly are.
We have a deep connection to all life. But more than this, we are life itself, just as an individual wave is at the same time the vast ocean. There is no conflict, nothing to chase, nothing to fight, and nothing to compete with, for when we experience ourselves as connected, we no longer feel compelled to chase and fight.
