Crocus & CrystalMind
I’ve been mapping why people latch onto ordinary objects—like that chipped mug you keep in the drawer—because it’s the same pattern of self‑attachment that pops up in nature. Do you notice any similar patterns in how you feel about particular spots in the forest?
I notice it in the old oak glade, where the light cuts through the leaves. It feels like a quiet heart of the forest, a spot that reminds me of seasons turning. I get a pull there, a sense that it’s part of me, just as a chipped mug becomes part of a person’s story. When that place is disturbed, the calm cracks, and I feel the same frustration I get when plans go off track. It’s a quiet reminder that attachment can both anchor and blind us.
