To be human is to be an expression of God in a particular form with a particular consciousness, in the world and interrelated with all the rest of creation. As I became more aware of nature outside, that is, nature different than me, I became aware that every form of nature is a unique expression of One Source, which awareness helps me appreciate and connect with my own nature. I don't know what is meant by understanding my own nature. Being human I have the ability to analyze, but I prefer to be human rather than analyze what it means to be human. I do understand it in the sense of standing under it being supportive of it. I find that being mindful, being in the present and paying attention to what I am experiencing, help me to value and enjoy my nature.
