Power Of Nature

Whether I’m venturing out into the wilderness or simply taking a walk in the park I’m reminded that materialism and self obsession; the trap of modern life, leave little room for the appreciation of our surrounding natural environment. nn"Natural objects themselves even when they make no claim to beauty excite the feelings and occupy the imagination." Carl William HumblennGetting back in touch with nature may be a cliché, but its significance is far from trivial. The benefits of immersing ourselves in nature, when we can, are enormous. It allows us to enter into a world where there is no evidence of mans influence. Something we did not create, but that flourishes regardless of our presence. By witnessing nature’s immense power of destruction and creation we are able to bring our egos back in touch. There is an awe experienced in confronting the sublimity of untamed nature. nnMoreover It can take us away from a world of self-imposed deadlines and targets. Inducing a calming effect, allowing us to relax, reflect and cherish ourselves. nn"Let Nature be your teacher...she has a world of ready wealth" William Wordsworth.n nNature is the purist of all forms of stimuli. The most brutal and the most idyllic. Sparking thought. Kindling Imagination. And fueling our burning desires to become great. nn
