What could be one’s kinship with all of nature?

It must be a common reality that nature expresses everywhere, including our personalities. If one could understand such a reality, it would be nature's source of life, and ours as well. On this basis, one could recognize our physical and mental actions as natural phenomena: which show us nature's expression of underlying reality. And one could see that inherent expression as our natural motivation: which inspires all our faculties from within, beneath their outward objectives. That would be our underlying source of value, the same source that motivates all happenings in the world.
