Sunbeam School Reflections - Sunday 24th November 2024

 

My Name is Cinnamon 

In 'My Name is Cinnamon' by Vikas Prakash Joshi, Cinnamon’s feelings upon meeting his birth parents would likely be a complex blend of emotions. As an adopted child who has grown up in a loving home, his identity and sense of belonging are deeply rooted in his adoptive family. However, meeting his birth parents could spark curiosity, excitement, and perhaps even anxiety or confusion.

Cinnamon might feel a sense of gratitude for the life that he’s been given, but he also requires a need for closure or understanding about why he was given up for adoption. He could struggle to reconcile his current identity with this new connection to his origins. Depending on the circumstances of the meeting and his birth parents’ story, he might experience empathy, forgiveness or even sadness.

We aren't a part of nature, we are nature
The phrase 'we aren't a part of nature, we are nature' suggests a rethinking of our relationship with the natural world. At its core, this statement challenges the conventional view that humans are separate from or somehow above, the environment and all its components. Instead, it emphasizes our intrinsic connection to the planet and the ecosystems around us. 
Human Origins: Humans have evolved over millions of years alongside other species. Our biological makeup is a product of the Earth’s ecological systems. Our ancestors lived in harmony with nature, relying on it for food, shelter, and community. This deep-rooted connection means that we are fundamentally a part of the Earth's biological fabric.
Interconnectedness: Every element of nature is interconnected—plants, animals, water, air and soil all depend on each other for survival. Humans, as one species within this vast system are equally part of this web of life.
