One with nature hiker mug

The ancient traditions are clear on this point. To truly know nature you must become one with nature. Release the ego. Surrender the self. Dissolve the artificial boundary between the human experience and the living, breathing, occasionally constricting natural world that surrounds us all. Wise words. The anaconda agrees completely. For those unfamiliar with the green anaconda — the largest snake by mass on planet Earth, capable of reaching thirty feet in length, two hundred and fifty pounds in weight, and a grip pressure that makes the concept of personal space feel quaint and optimistic — achieving oneness with nature occasionally involves nature achieving oneness with you first. Simultaneously and with considerable enthusiasm. This boldly illustrated design captures our hero — sunburned, tattered, hiking pole heroically still in hand despite being coiled from ankle to armpit by approximately two hundred pounds of serene and deeply contented anaconda — in the precise moment of achieving complete and total oneness with nature. The anaconda looks peaceful. The anaconda has always been peaceful. The anaconda is, in fact, the most relaxed creature in this entire illustration and arguably in the entire southern hemisphere. Our hero has a different perspective on the situation. One with nature. Nature is delighted. Perfect for hikers, campers, wildlife enthusiasts, yoga practitioners who took the mind body connection a little too literally, and anyone who has ever returned from a nature walk with a story that starts with "you are not going to believe this." A perfect gift for the outdoor adventurer in your life, the friend who keeps suggesting wilderness retreats, the coworker who won't stop talking about their spiritual connection to the natural world, or anyone who believes that growth happens outside the comfort zone — sometimes significantly outside. Follow our hero's complete journey through the natural world. First the bear. Then the badger. Now this. He never learns. Out_of_Whack — For those who ask for forgiveness... Eventually.
