Importance of Staying Found in the Presence of Living Legacy Life

What is the importance of asking yourself, as an outdoor educator 60+, inspired by nature, how you're feeling in words, sounds, images, symbols, smells, tastes, metaphors, etc. as a way of staying found in the presence of living legacy life?

1. You attune to your inner landscape as deeply as the outer one

You’ve spent years helping others connect with the natural world. Yet, to live your legacy life fully, you must also stay in tune with your own internal seasons. Asking how you're feeling through multi-sensory language honours the full depth of your experience—beyond logic, into presence.

2. You practice self-awareness through the language of nature

Feelings are not always easily named. Sometimes, “I feel like rain pooling quietly under leaves” speaks louder than “I feel tired.”
Using metaphor and symbol, you move from vague emotion to vivid awareness—a necessary skill for shaping honest legacy stories.

3. You stay rooted in the now, not just the memory.

Legacy can lean you into the past. Sensory reflection returns you to the moment. It reminds you that you are still here, still growing, still becoming.
Staying found means living, not just recalling, your legacy.

4. You model integrated reflection for others.

Whether guiding learners or mentoring peers, this practice shows others how to feel, not just think. Your stories, shaped through this depth, will be more meaningful, embodied, and real.


Asking “How am I feeling?” in layered ways keeps your story alive.
It is a compass, a trail marker, a quiet hearth where your legacy is not lost—but found again, every day.
