Nature Walks with Dr. Dale Atkins | Enough is Enough

Today is really a day of really needing a nature walk. Another horrendous massacre at an elementary school (in Uvalde, Texas). Children and teachers lost their lives today and I, for one, need solace and I need to try to have an understanding — hard at this moment in time — how we, as a society, think this is ok because we’re not taking enough action to stop it: to really say this is not ok — we don’t want to live like this — we won’t live like this.

So, I came to nature because it can balance me in a world that today seems insane.

One way to maintain our sanity is to come to nature, to take care of ourselves so that we have what we need to speak up, to implore those making policy that they have a responsibility to all of us and when there are ways to keep ourselves safe, we need to put those ways into practice. Speak to your elected officials and with one another. Take heart to know that there are people that really do not approve of what’s going on and that enough is enough.
