Blog 1 - My relationship with nature

Growing up, my siblings, cousins, and I had the privilege of living together in the same apartment complex in the city, at times even in the very same apartment. It was crowded, loud, and messy, but as a young child, it was the most fun I could ever have. As children of immigrants, money was scarce, so the outdoors was our biggest entertainer. We would walk to the park together, roll down the grassy hills, climb trees, make wishes on dandelions, and collect ladybugs. During warm spring evenings, we would often sit just outside the building courtyard to enjoy the warm air with our parents, aunts, uncles, and grandparents and would watch as fireflies flew through the overgrown grass. Our grandparents would tell us stories about their own adventures outdoors, the various plants and herbs not found in Canada which they would cultivate for medicinal purposes, and legends behind the wildlife inhabiting the mountains where they grew up.

Slowly, the fireflies stopped coming out in our neighborhood, and my cousins and grandparents all moved elsewhere. My parents and siblings began to get busy with work and school, but I was never able to outgrow my love for being outside and my fascination with plants and wildlife. Being outdoors, seeing green frogs rest at the edge of a pond half submerged in algae-covered water, the smell of wet grass and damp wood after a heavy rainfall, listening to the wind blow through the trees and causing the willow leaves to flow like water, seeing how the sunlight turns gray city puddles into molten gold, all of these moments allow me to take my mind off the rush and noise of the city. Nature allows me to think of things on a smaller scale and appreciate how every living thing on earth what lives carries importance.

In 2020, with nothing else to do, my family and I began going on walks outdoors to pass the time. We began to walk around all the parks and ravines in the neighborhood and the more we walked in a particular area, the more we became aware of its inhabitants, and we began using field guides to help identify the new plants we came across during our walks. We would have conversations about the plants and wildlife that my parents grew up around themselves in their native country. My mom would teach me how to name things in our native language, and one day bought us a night blooming jasmine (called “raat ki rani” meaning “queen of the night") to keep in our home. It was a fragrant flower which was an important part of my parents heritage and upbringing.

Being in nature has always helped me to connect two aspects of my life–my ethnic background and my life here in Canada–which have for a long time caused me confusion regarding my identity. I can say with confidence that my family as a whole has offered me a sense of place in nature. When I am in nature, I feel a deep connection to my parents, grandparents, and my ancestors despite being on the other side of the world. It reminds me of all the stories and knowledge accumulated by my elders which have been passed down to me, and the new discoveries I make and stories I create for myself as I continue to explore the natural world around me.
