PMIH Loves Nature!

Nature is not a luxury; it is essential to our humanity. We are interdependent. We take in oxygen and release carbon dioxide. Trees and other plants take in carbon dioxide and release oxygen. We take part in each other’s development and sometimes, we notice. On April 16th, Present Mind Institute of Hawaii spent a few hours nurturing the environment and giving back to a small part of our island. As we walked through the grass and sands of Waimanalo Beach Park, we shared in the joy of a “Beach Clean Up” activity. The event was symbolic. What do you do when you love and respect another? You give back, you appreciate, you care and spend time with them.

I looked around and saw my colleagues laughing and conversing as they picked up what others had absentmindedly dropped, thrown, left behind, or forgotten on the ground. I couldn’t help but try to make meaning of the ‘opala. I thought about the past, “Hmmm, there must have been some kind of sport played here. Look at all the plastic bottle caps scattered around.” Sometimes, I had thoughts about the future too, “Yikes! This crushed Heineken bottle might injure a barefooted child running towards the beach! I better be sure to pick up all the tiny shards.”

When we were done, we enjoyed some fruit and water (both gifts from nature herself), and talked about our lives, our connection. It was a fabulous day!

Picking up litter and caring for nature is a wonderful way to express appreciation for this healthful relationship.
