What if consciousness comes first and doesn’t originate in the brain?
What if, as Professor Maria Strømme, suggests, “… our individual consciousness does not cease at death, but returns to the universal field of consciousness from which it once emerged”?

“We cannot efface anything from the web that bind us all without wider consequence. Ecosystems unravel, societies falter, imaginations become bland. Yet it is easier to imagine resurrecting mammoths than changing how we live.” ~ Adam Weymouth.
Fabulous book!

James Paterson’s ‘Autumn in Glencairn, Moniaive’ always makes me pause longer than when in front of any other paintings in the National Gallery, Edinburgh. It’s the way the landscape pulls me in to connect with nature, and with the season.

Can anyone please identify this astonishingly beautiful #fungi which measures about 10cm at its widest point and sits about 11cm above the ground?

On 10 October 2025, the Slender-billed Curlew (Numenius tenuirostris) was officially declared extinct. This is the first known global extinction of a formerly widespread migratory bird species, and “is a wake-up call for us to take action for its Eurasian cousin”.

#NatureConnection early in life may reduce onset of depression in later life, but nature connection may alleviate this. But we’re losing nature at an alarming rate which gives rise to eco-anxiety. Depression may ride on the back of this. When we protect nature, we protect ourselves. #MentalHealth

I stood for a long while beneath the long arms of this birch tree. It felt like praying in a temple. I mean, aren’t all uplifting thoughts and feelings prayers? #NatureConnection #spirituality #trees

Morning walk through Abernethy Forest via Forest Lodge, #Cairngorms, which is RSPB’s HQ for Abernethy Forest Nature Reserve. Picture of Lodge dog kennels used during WW2 as a detention building. Couldn’t resist picking a few chanterelles on my way back to Nethy Bridge.

Thought I’d meet #RiverTill, #Northumberland, before sunrise and follow Public Footpath upstream from #TwizelBridge. But as path was obstructed, dangerous, and not maintained after Twizel Mill, I followed the woodland edge, but was forced to turn back after this view as there was no way forward.

Looking down at the #RiverTill , #Northumberland, from Mill Hill nr. Twizel Bridge. The Till is the only tributary of the Tweed in Northumberland.

Came across this gorgeous wasp nest (also called a byke or bike) at the River Till, Northumberland, today.

Great walk along the River Till today, from Etal to Castle Heaton and back. The Till is the only tributary of the Tweed in Northumberland. Thriving with wildlife, plenty of native trees (eg., willow, alder, oak, hazel), and rich in #biodiversity. #Riverwood #NatureConnection

August sunset beyond the River Till ( only tributary of R. Tweed in Northumberland). Followed river through #riverwoods for a few miles as darkness fell. Insects busy, fish leaping, tawny owl, bats, herons, oaks, hazel, alder, willow, and so on. Night walking. #NatureConnection

Resting beneath this alder tree by the Harthope Burn, Northumberland National Park. Temperature is just right. Researching #riverwoods for my next project.

Walked on the other side of the River Tweed today from where I tumbled down the embankment into the river a few months ago. Wanted to view the scene where I fell, and to complete my walk on the other side. Then an osprey circled above me thanks to the amazing work of the Tweed Valley Osprey Project.
