Finding yourself
Fortunately we are beginning to realize that this road has been a mistake, today we begin to have more awareness of the importance of the interconnectedness of all living things. Each day we realize more clearly that by destroying nature we are destroying ourselves. Today we are awakening to the reality that our very survival goes hand in hand to the survival of other species with whom we share this planet.
But beyond the issue of our survival is the issue of how we experience our life and how we celebrate it. And our experience of life is intrinsically linked to how we communicate and "connect" with everything around us, especially with all life around us.
This series seeks to explore this powerful, mysterious and profound bonding that there may be between us and nature. It seeks to generate awareness of the importance of creating harmony and communication links between all living things.

entry description
I´ve been diving in the Mexican cenotes since 1994 and I have always been fascinated by their natural beauty and magic. They represent an endless source of inspiration and aw, both by their intrinsic naturalistic beauty, but also by their history and spiritual meaning. The ancient Maya people, located the origins of life in the water, it was where life emerge and regenerated. The cenotes where considered sacred places, powerful and symbolic that represented the gateway to the spiritual underworld, to the afterlife, a place of rebirth. Throughout the history of mankind, humans have tried to dominate and control the environment, creating a gulf between us and nature, destroying our own source of life.Fortunately we are beginning to realize that this road has been a mistake, today we begin to have more awareness of the importance of the interconnectedness of all living things. Each day we realize more clearly that by destroying nature we are destroying ourselves. Today we are awakening to the reality that our very survival goes hand in hand to the survival of other species with whom we share this planet.
