ecological awareness, n.All

Ecological awareness's quintessence is the feeling that I am surrounded and penetrated by entities such as stomach bacteria, parasites, mitochondria; not to mention other humans, lemurs and sea foam.

Ecological awareness is saturated with nothingness, a shimmering or flickering, a shadow play of presence and absence intertwined.

Ecological awareness is responsible for your experiencing your world as malfunctioning, as broken, precisely insofar as all kinds of things are sticking out of the normalized background we take to be our world, which most often is deeply anthropocentrically scaled.

Ecological awareness is knowing that there are a bewildering variety of scales, temporal and spatial, and that the human ones are only a very narrow region of a much larger and necessarily inconsistent and varied scalar possibility space, and that the human scale is not the top scale.
