I find myself wanting to share the "nature loves courage" excerpt with people on a near weekly basis, but haven't found a version without music or dramatic visuals. I think the words are powerful enough to speak for themselves. I also left some of the context in, which I think adds punk rock gravitas to the familiar sentiment.
You can find the rest of this talk at Lorenzo Hagerty's Psychedelic Salon, episode 211: psychedelicsalon.com/podcast-...
“The mushroom said to me once, ‘Nature loves courage. Nature loves courage,’ and I said, ‘What’s the payoff on that?’ And it said, ‘It shows you it loves courage because it removes obstacles.’ You make a commitment, and nature will respond to that commitment by removing impossible obstacles. Dream the impossible dream, and the world will not grind you under, it will lift you up.”
