What the people say here absolutely resonates with me. I see what they see in the natural world, and by natural world I mean the wild. I mean earth in her natural, organic state. I understand these people, because I too have a deep respect and appreciation for organic nature and life. Like them I appreciate every plant, every living creature. I marvel at the beautiful colors, patters, and intricate details in nature. Like them I feel honored and privileged to be alive on this majestic planet. People like them truly deserve to be here on earth, because they love every blade of grass and drop of water. They care about this planet and life on this planet. They understand the sacredness of it all

The Komi (Komi: комияс) or Komi-Zyryans (Zyryans), are a Permian (Finno-Ugric) ethnic group whose homeland is in the north-east of European Russia around the basins of the Vychegda, Pechora and Kama rivers. They mostly live in the Komi Republic, Perm Krai, Murmansk Oblast, Khanty–Mansi Autonomous Okrug, and Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug in the Russian Federation.
Growing your own food naturally is a spiritual practice. Our ancestors understood this, and that’s why their native ethnic faith was nature-based. Nature, and agriculture was at the centre of their spirituality. That, and the procreation of life. They placed equal importance on fertility of the people, animals and the land.

This is just the beginning. 100 years from now kids in schools will be taught a completely different history on Tudor dynasty from the one we’ve been taught. I don’t understand why this black actress even agreed to take this role. Has she no pride at all posing as Anne Boleyn? These people are truly loosing their mind
