"The Question" answered in Nhulunbuy

By eyes4earth @eyes4earth · On April 29, 2008

The Question is simply “What did nature do for you today?”. And we’re asking it in various locations around the world. First stop: Nhulunbuy (Gove) in northeast Arnhem Land, Australia. This video clip is the full length version of the preview which was posted last week on Earth Day. It gives an insight into the perceptions we have of nature and raises our awareness of ‘ecosystem services’.

eyes4earth.org would like to thank the willing interviewees for their flashes of inpsiration.

If you would like to join us in helping to ask “The Question” in your area – wherever that may be – contact info@eyes4earth.org for more information. This initiative is supported by the Canon Australia Environmental Grant.

“One touch of nature makes the whole world kin.”
	- William Shakespeare 

This quote by Shakespeare speaks to the interconnectedness of all living beings through their shared natural essence. It suggests that a felt experience of ‘nature’ can transcend perceived cultural, social, and species boundaries. Nature, in its raw beauty and presence has, when given a particular kind of attention, the power to evoke universal emotions and stir a sense of commonality among beings. It offers a potent reminder of the fundamental bond that connects all living creatures. Irrespective of our individual backgrounds, ideologies or beliefs, we are all part of the greater tapestry of nature with our pulsing sensing animal bodies.

(So, go on, Mariah, touch it. I never would’ve thought your music would serve a purpose for me!)
