My eldest son and I were out taking a walk after lunch.

“You seem tired Mum” he said.

“I am, baby. I went to a group reading last night and am feeling a bit drained now. I took a walk to help me recharge.” I replied back to him.

“Yeah, nature makes you feel good.” he responded.

“It sure does” I said back.

“You know what mum?” he asked.

“What baby” I asked back.

“I think that nature is coffee for your soul” he said.

“You are absolutely correct” I smiled back at him.

I thought about his words as we walked. I thought about how impressed I was with his level of clarity about the bigger picture. Statements like this flow freely from him, you only need to provide enough silence and opportunity for him to talk. I say in almost every workshop where I am presenting that nature is a core part of my psychic hygiene practice, yet in a single sentence he boiled it down to an incredibly clear message. Nature is like coffee for your soul. He is wise beyond his years and I am grateful that he is my son.
