Reflections of Ecosystems

In the past, our minds were only reflections of the landscapes outside of us, but no longer. Now, our minds are reflections of ecosystems. The qualia which once flowed into the mind through our distorted, outward-facing senses, now flows into the mind directly from ecosystems, pure and refreshing like the water from an artesian well. The moment we recognize ecosystems as the source of the Earth’s bounty we tap into that well, and, because what is in the mind manifests itself first in the brain, then in the body, and finally flows out into the world, we are now repairing the damage we have done the planet.
