-- *Mar*Here is a refined version of your essay, rewritten in the *same emotional, ecological, symbiotic voice*—but with smoother flow, clearer imagery, and deeper resonance. ------------------------------ *Conversing With Nature — Refined Version*
The biosphere is not merely a layer of air and life; it is a *field of emotions*, a breathing sphere of feelings. Every organism inhales messages and exhales responses—scents, vibrations, energies, quiet signals that pass continuously between beings. Nature is an unbroken conversation of feelings, and every creature participates in it. When we begin to understand this language of emotion, we no longer stand outside of nature as observers. We are drawn into its pulse, into its original rhythm. Our sense of self softens and expands until it merges with the living forest, the trembling leaf, the warm winds. We become part of nature’s own self-awareness. Yet somewhere in our history, the mind thickened into a barrier. We allowed intellect to overshadow intuition, and analysis to silence empathy. This rigid, mechanical mind has dimmed our capacity to feel nature flowing into us. We step into a forest without recognizing our own reflection in its moss and branches. >From this emotional distance, we learned to observe, manipulate, dissect, control—always “objectively,” always “scientifically,” which often means indifferently. For the modern scientist, to speak of the biosphere as emotional is absurd, unmeasurable, a hallucination. But the denial itself is a symptom of the severed connection. At the foundation of life lies a simple miracle: sunlight. Photons descend from the Sun and are woven into plants through photosynthesis. In this weaving, the energy of light becomes the energy of life. Through the food chain this light-energy circulates, carrying vitality through every cell, every heartbeat. And what is life if not emotion—movement, response, desire, fear, joy, attraction? In this sense, the electromagnetic energy of the Sun becomes the *emotional energy of the Earth*. The troposphere becomes a sphere of shared feeling. We are, each of us, expressions of this cosmic flow. Emotional currents run through us the way light runs through space. The Universe does not merely exist—it *feels*. It resonates. Positive emotions align us with this natural flow; they are our own experience of being “photosynthesized,” filled with solar hope. Through these emotions, the Universe whispers encouragement, reaffirming our part in its vast unfolding. But when we immerse ourselves in skepticism, mechanization, or emotionless rationality, we constrict the pathways through which this positive energy moves. Cartesian detachment becomes a shadow that dims the radiance entering us. And so, we must ask: what are we doing to ourselves in the name of economic development? Are we not tearing through the emotional tissue of the planet, disrupting the living circuits that sustain us? Universities, the supposed guardians of wisdom, must awaken to this forgotten truth. They must become places where reconnection begins—not with more machinery, but with *Emotions and Feelings Parks*, sanctuaries where humans can relearn the subtle languages of wind and leaf, scent and soil, light and silence. Only by restoring this emotional communion can we heal both ourselves and our world. — *YM Sarma* ------------------------------ If you’d like, I can also: 🌿 make the tone more poetic or more philosophical 🌿 simplify it for general readers 🌿 expand it into a longer essay or small book chapter -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Thatha_Patty" group.
