We need to change our way of thinking and seeing things. We need to realise that the Earth is not just our environment. The Earth is not something outside of us. Breathing with mindfulness and contemplating your body, you realise that you are the Earth. You realise that your consciousness is also the consciousness of the Earth. Look around you–what you see is not your environment, it is you. ~Thich Nhat Hanh
TNH was a genius visionary.

We have one Earth, when we destroy it, we will destroy our life. In my garden, only the crocuses sprout leaves, there are frosts at night.

This is not really true. Just as nature is not God, and He is not just nature, nature is not us and we are not nature.
We are only part of the natural world The Creator made, but we must recognize that He created the world for us to take care of, not abuse. There is more to the world than just its human inhabitants and there is MUCH more to you and me than just the world in which we live.
As always, beautiful photography! You are so gifted!
