It has been clear to me for many years now, that my immersion in nature is life sustaining, quite literally so. The first thing which jumped into my mind when I thought of this awareness week and its theme was the word ‘life’. Quite literally, share through my online channels, anything which crops up and which I think will be of interest and I have the time to create, write or film. Since the theme of this awareness raising week is ‘Nature’, it’s apposite I should allow myself the opportunity to travel the trail less travelled and enjoy the adventure. Instead, I have decided to follow a natural path, allowing myself the leeway of choosing as they come to my mind, some of the pearls I hope will be helpful for others. In fact, for a brief moment, I thought there was enough for me to write a book but I hastily put that idea to bed since I have promised the world two books, yet to be completed. For a few hours I found myself overwhelmed with the numerous avenues I could follow, from which I would offer a range of personal insights and wisdom I’ve gleaned through my nearly sixty years. When thinking about what I would offer, I soon realised I had a huge amount of information to share and innumerable illustrative tales to recount. As such, I’ve made a public commitment to contribute my thoughts and experiences with regard to my own journey with severe depression and how immersion in the natural world helps me with my recovery. From today, the 10th May, it’s Mental Health Awareness Week with its underlying theme of ‘Nature’.
