Eco-Psyc Journal Reflections - 5 Oct

Writer's picture: Adriaan van ZylAdriaan van Zyl



As I am readying to transform my journal entries into "blog"-type post for submission, I am noticing a shift in my general demeanor. It's very evident from my musings that I am trying to figure out an answer to a question and that I am stuck in a binary narrative... nature = good, humans = bad. That is an undercurrent in most of my posts. I think the question that I am asking needs to be looked at in a different way. That question is: what is my role here, in this place? How do I hold myself and claim space within this environment? And I am stuck in a didactic, cognitive dualistic framework (good vs bad). And when I allow myself to let go of the grip of analytical safety and allow myself to fall inside my body to the more unknown, embodied place... I actually arrive at a much more nuanced answer. That of belonging, that of remembering, that of allowing, listening, and experiencing. This transcends the binary, black and white/right and wrong narrative ... who knows, maybe the tools of commerce can be used in service of nature, only when we are in service to nature.
