Cities offer
so much: the personality of a place, the diversity of cultures and ways of
being, the exchange of ideas. At the same time, when I spend too much time in
human-made environments I feel like I’m living in my head. My view becomes narrow. Wildness
seems distant. Natural processes begin to seem controllable, contained.
It may well
be a remedy to reconnect with nature. It’s worth a try. While
there are breathtaking places all over the world, I can also find them right here. I can slow down and pay attention. I have received some of the most
lasting (and non-material) gifts this way.

Yes , my friend. Nature has an endless treasured ripe for picking if we can only claim them..
ReplyDeleteThanks for the gift of awakening me to these gifts.
