Fairy tale mushrooms like these make me think of Alice in Wonderland, and psychedelics.

Looking around today, there are more mushrooms than I've ever seen! I wonder what Mother Nature is suggesting 🤷😂

Maybe we need a fresh perspective, a collective revisioning. A new way of thinking and being.

Maybe we need to get back into our bodies, into nature. Back to Earth.

Inner work -- which for me began largely with psychedelics as a young person — can seem selfish, overly inward, and swirlingly long.

But an open, honest inward journey will inevitably bring you back out. Connecting deeply with ourselves brings us into connection with the space and people around us.

Our petty inner concerns shift and grow as we do, folding out into the collection of concerns we all share, and eventually, if we keep going, into a compassion for all beings.

Don't be afraid to go inward as a means of developing a loving connection to yourself and everything outside of you.
