Nature has no opinion about us. If you look closely, you will realize that it is pure, without additives, without over-understanding, it is simple and complex, relative and spontaneous.
A dandelion, an oak, a bird singing or a deer running, without past or future, only rooted in the present. Do you feel the peace and the power that radiates to notice it? Why do human beings lose this often?
Invaded by advertising, entertainment and modernity, we can feel in our own flesh, the disadvantages of stress. Everything artificial, created by the mind, hinders relaxation by keeping confusion and intellectual chaos active, depriving us of power and innate energy.

Sometimes, so egocentrically desperate, we create specialties of ourselves and of every part of our body and mind, becoming an island without a compass, deviating from that path in which we begin with the whole, without realizing that no matter how much we know about ourselves, without that everything around us (nature) and all its components, (water, vegetation, minerals and other living beings) we could not exist, because we were not designed to live in an environment where we only exist but where we coexist with others, in environments synchronized, symbiotic, synergistic and complementary.
Take a walk through the forest, breathe deeply and let yourself be invaded by its revitalizing magic. Be curious, leave your civilized manners and become wild as before, when you were a child. Climb trees, play with the earth, with water and rediscover the microworld.
Deep within us, behind that modern and entertaining makeup, is a savage in a latent state with unbridled power that is interested in living the now and is intimately connected with everything. Our well-maintained front gardens with only one meter of grass are boring, animals cannot live there and the few that arrive, are far away with our pesticide weapons, that is a clear sign that we suppress our essence. We have become so domesticated and rational that we no longer accept the natural order in ourselves or around us.

Enjoy the sensuality and beauty of green, the fresh air available, with the smell of flowers, forest, earth. Let yourself be seduced by the wind and the warm rays of sun on your skin. Sit before the wisdom of an old tree. Do not think, just feel. Throw away all your concepts for a moment and unlearn. Listen to the whisper of leaves and branches, swaying with the wind, and if you are aware enough, you will feel like one with him, because his essence has penetrated you and you become as calm and wise as that tree that carries hundreds of years there, in that same place where he has seen countless stations.
Everything around him, including himself, has changed several times. That is why it can teach peace and the simplicity of existence. Everything essential can be relearned from nature, animals and plants are great masters.
Nature is our pole to earth, it reconnects us because it is our source, we come from it and it is loaded with sensory experiences, here and now, beyond all the noisy mental discourses that we create. With it, we feel vital, alert and sensitive, attributes that we often lose in everyday life. We feel more to ourselves and the world around us, making everything even easier to perceive.
When we return to the routine, our concepts, ideas and plans for the future are not a big concern as our mind wanted it to be. We are connected and everything flows like water in a river.
Imagine for a moment the chaos that would reign in nature, if each plant and each animal were dominated by their thoughts of the past and the future?
Imagine a squirrel with her unstoppable mental noise, preparing her winter food supplies, thinking about the competition, worried that there will be no food for her or for her youngs, anxious for lack in a world that by nature is abundant.
She would be sick with worry and anxiety; she would suffer constant stress and extreme tension. Each bird would compare its song with the other. Many of them would remain silent because they would think that they do not sing well enough. The bumblebees would no longer dare to fly if they listened to the scientists, who assure that in proportion to their wings they are too heavy.
Or the grass would grow incessantly to be eaten several times only to discover that it is still growing and would be frustrated because maybe that would not make sense and would feel used. She would be confused because she would not understand his purpose.
Imagine how relaxed our human existence would be if we remembered our essence most of the time. Nature teaches us the Wisdom of the here and now, the present moment.

If we get more involved in our nature, in the present time, we can deal with problems in another way. Acting more and thinking less. Through that present presence, we cleanse ourselves, gain strength and energy with which we can act effectively.

Have you ever taken the time to feel like a living being immersed in this world and notice it? Imagine if you were a caterpillar in the process of metamorphosis, would not you find it fascinating?

All life, above and below the earth, in the water and in the air, everything is so colorful and so diverse, so abundant and so wise.
Amazing seems the right word and add everything we cannot see. You and I, and everything else, everyone, we are a part, an expression of that silence, of that intelligence that does not matter where it comes from but which is powerful. Our body in all its complexity has developed completely there without our will.
Our relationship with nature brings us peace, authenticity and simplicity. But our mind full of human data of all kinds, tells us that it is not easy. Turning that thought so that our mind thinks how easy it is, is the key to connecting.
Symbiosis is a close and persistent relationship between organisms of different species seeking mutual benefit. To do Symbiosis is to reconnect with nature.

Feel, you don’t need words or thoughts.
Reconnect yourself to nature, you are in all your rights.

I have always been curious of the microworld, of the life smaller than mine.
The insects, spiders and all the arthropods, obtain of me admiration. Also their micro ecosystems, moss, lichens and all micro plants with their micro flowers and leaves, which when revealed in photographs I can distinguish their micro parts. From the micro world I admire its infinity and abundance.

I love the photograph of every little being that reveals itself as a giant when I approach it.
The micro world teaches order, the sequence of a life that spirals and when it grows in size it has the same pattern, only to our human eyes is perceived larger.

A spiral shell that is born in a snail larva has the same geometric pattern as an immeasurable galaxy, therefore the micro world is the macro world but with another size, from another perspective of our limited human eyes and senses.

And what will happen to the invisible? The most micro of the microworld?

As in the course of everyone’s life, I am in metamorphosis. The old skin is gone.

I know a lot of people, I share, I live. I understand some things of this network woven by all.
Everything is unconnectedly connected.

Looking and practicing the consciousness that increasingly illuminates my route, I see clearly (although without understanding) how everything is connected, how each situation can be changed direction and how you can clean energy understanding the goodness of situations in appearance Negative. This has allowed me to question my beliefs and those of other people around me, fortunately. In any case, go through the awareness path, is the way.

My trip to Colombia was very enriching. I had the opportunity to travel to the places that are in the itinerary of SIMBIOTURISMO IN COLOMBIA. The place that struck me most was Nabusimake, which in Spanish means “Earth where the sun is born”. It is a cozy and clean place, where you breathe a different air, full of calm and peace. The Arhuaco community is reserved and very peaceful.

We flew 55 minutes from Bogota to Valledupar, we stayed for the night there near to the park where people celebrate the festival of vallenato. The next day we woke up and went with my friend Carlos to Pueblo Bello, after 2 hours and a half on a small bus in good condition.

More photos in the gallery below

After Pueblo Bello we had to wait for the quota to be filled in 4×4 cars that are the only ones that go up to Nabusimake. While we waited, we went to buy the makurumas (offerings) for the town council and for Doña Angela. We bought dried fish which is what they like most and some vegetables and basic food that she asked for herself.
These cars climbs mountains have the particularity of having in each tire the fender much higher, due to the topography of the place. It is an adventure to get there and strange as it may seem, it is better to be without a seat belt despite the exaggerated movement along the way.

Then we arrived, the driver spoke with a member of the Arhuaco community who lives there and is at the same time the doorman of the town. We paid 10 thousand pesos for the entrance. When we entered, everything seemed greener, we crossed the river in the car and Kiko, the driver, dropped us off at Dona Angela’s house who very kindly welcomed us with lunch.
We had a long conversation with this wonderful woman. About 300 meters from her house was the town enclosed by stone of about 400 square meters, where the community lives.
The next day we went as soon as possible to ask for permission to the house of the elder, who after a while has given us very kindly. All visitors are warned to respect their waters, the village, trees, animals and hills. The “semaneros” (who are the guards or traditional police of the Arhuacos) are responsible for enforcing the rules.

All the time we were with Aurelia or as everyone called: Yeya. Her real name is Yuidig and she was our guide, she is part of the community but she does not live in the village locked in stone, but in another sector about 1 km away. Aurelia was superb and very helpful, we collaborated on everything, she will be again our guide on the trip in July. He taught us to say Hello (DU) and thanks (DUNI) in the Arhuaco language. She took us to the sacred wells of the Curacatá river, there we submerged and cleaned ourselves with the pure water.

There is no electricity there, we also had no communication, so Aurelia took us to the house of Mila who has a store with things to sell. She sells oils of several herbs, organic panela, coca leaves, coffee of the Sierra, super cocos (traditional candies of Colombia), bread, Mochilas of all the sizes, among other things.
To get there you have to cross the river by a bridge that is a fallen tree, you feel the adrenaline as you pass the tree. Mila has solar panels and let to recharge the phones, she’s very kindly. She also offers the service of selling minutes to communicate.
At night we went out to see the stars, we could see the milky way, since we were so far away that the light of the city did not interrupt such a majestic spectacle. The view there was amazing.

We tried to find Nerungumu, who over the years cured my friend Carlos once he fell in the river and with a stone broke his eyebrow. Carlos wanted to take a makuruma but we had to leave it at home with his wife because we tried 3 times to find him. Nerumgumu has a brother that we do not yet know if he is his twin, but according to Carlos and Aurelia looks similar, we thought it was him and we spoke as if he were him. He very kindly and after hearing everything, has told us that it is not Nerungumu, but his brother, that has not made him laugh much since Carlos was very excited to see him again. Finally we never saw him.
We ran out of time and returned to Pueblo Bello after we traveled to Valledupar and the next day to Bogota, very loaded with good energy, very relaxed and above all happy about this experience.
In the next post I will write about the trip to the coffee zone, which was super!!

What is Simbiotourism?
It is the respectful and friendly tourism with the nature directed to travelers who want to go to unique places in Colombia while supporting local communities and their small enterprises. The support is made through the visit and the exchange of their experiences with the local cultures and knowledge, tasting the native food, knowing the different Colombian cultures and traditions, watching the biodiversity, breathing pure air, but above all … disconnecting from the routine to connect with nature.

It is the new way of travel promoted by Simbiosis activa.org

“Traveling is the only thing we pay and it makes us richer”. Anonymous

Next trip: COLOMBIA 2018. More info
