With the constant exposure to digital news, ads and social media interaction, we've lost the valuable skill that our ancestors had of gathering information firsthand from our surroundings.

We've lost the ability to perceive the deep interconnection between “us” and the natural world, and the different ways nature is alive and communicates with us. The patterns of birds in flight, the blooming of trees outside of their season, the temperature of the ocean's water, the invasion of ants or snails … there are so many occurrences in nature that carry valuable information and significance that we don't pay attention to anymore.
