When I first started reading “Making Nature Sacred” I flipped the book open to page 45. At the bottom of that page is a line saying, “Another division of a bird’s double life is its migratory participation in two different environmental climates.” Later the author, John Gatta went on talking about how after birds give birth to their young in the summer season, the birds migrate south towards the warmer climate. For some reason this really got me thinking.
I started thinking what if I was like a bird and when weather started changing for the worst, I could just migrate some place else? How much different would my life be now if I lived it like a bird did. It would probably be very different. My social outlook and outlook on life would be very different. All my values and morals would be different. My entire life would be different.
I then started going over different scenarios of where I might go, or what I would do once I got there. I could slowly go up and down the country from north to south while working myself gradually west. Getting the experience of life all over the country. I don’t think that I’m in the position to be making the decisions to travel the country as easily as a bird would but I think it would be quite an adventure and many stories would come from it.
