You may have heard the saying "what a tangled web we weave when we practice to deceive" and this has often been used to illustrate the importance of truth and simple communication. But we don't have to be trying to deceive, our whole lives are a tangled web, often with connections we don't see, aren't aware of.
Being mindful helps us not necessarily untangle, but certainly see the web, understand that everything in our life is connected whether internally, to our background, experience, family, education and much more, or externally to the people around us, our work, reliance on gadgets, texting, the weather, whatever.
When we learn to look at the web, we see the connections much more clearly, recognise the strong, the tenuous, what is able to support and what needs to be strengthened or disregarded.
Being mindful in and of nature allows us to learn from all other life too, that things change, often aren't perfect but can still be beautiful.
