Welcome The Wise Whispers Of Mother Nature In 2022

“It wasn’t so long ago that the stars gave us our bearings, the forest was our fridge and the river was the unerring path home.”

Last December, NPR asked readers about their hopes for 2022 and summarized their responses. Some things, like ‘create a global network for medical research’ seem like an obvious choice.

But one really stood out — ‘Get back to nature.’

I’m lucky enough to live in a city (Oslo), which was planned around parks, rivers, and nature, not in place of it.

There is something irreplaceable about a breath of fresh air and the rustle of wind through the trees. We need it, but we seem to forget that.

I had already worked on a list of hopes for 2022, but I’m going to add one more thing: enjoy the nature around you.
