Another great blog! New super fan here.

Since I moved to Stroud I have been having daily moments of awe being in nature, my body is relaxing and I tune into my inner voice more (or is it the trees speaking to me?!). I feel this land called to me and I belong here. When I go travelling I of course find other places stunning, but I definitely feel like a visitor. It’s something different when you are truly connected to the land in which you live. So this blog really resonated! And sorry it didn’t work out romantically, but I am sure it was worth pursuing for the time it lasted, for all the love that was generated during it ❤️

Aw yes, it was worth it! So lovely to find a connection where there's so much shared enthusiasm for authenticity in connection. And like you, I'm so very grateful for those daily moments of awe in nature! They make life worth living, no matter what else is going on. Thanks for your comment, love 😘

Hi Robin. What an amazing piece of writing this was. and SO honest, thanks! I have never considered that falling in love or marriage to the land could come before a romantic relationship but I really resonated with this idea. I am going through a very long and deep immersion into falling in love with nature and perhaps it is this relationship that will ultimately lead me towards a fulfilling romantic relationship that I want. I recently spent three weeks in the south of France where my parents live and spent hours and hours each day in the woods and deepening my relationship to nature. It was incredibly fulfilling and healed me so much. I also love the land in and around Bristol so much and do my very best to connect with it as often as I can. Thanks again and enjoy the meditation retreat. Tom
