#167 Wandering in the Wilderness — Dom Francks on confronting fragility, his love of nature, the disconnect from nature, working as a software engineer, viewing yourself as a piece of poetry, how we're always embedded in nature and being guided by intuition

The Importance of Wandering in Nature
Engaging in wandering in nature, without a specific destination, allows individuals to be guided by intuition and connect with the environment. This practice involves moving through a wild or wildish place with a sense of orientation towards the world or a ceremony to enact. It is different from mere hiking or goal-oriented activities, as it involves being guided by intuition and interacting with the surroundings as if all beings are aware and welcoming. Wandering helps open up perceptions, facilitating a deeper connection to oneself and the environment. This practice is not just about leisure but about actively engaging with nature and getting to know oneself better. It is a transformative experience that can positively impact one's relationship with work and bring about a contemplative state through movement in nature.
