Nature and the mystery of existence

I look at nature as perfect. I love to look at it and be a part of it. At times, when I am in a peaceful mood I feel very connected to nature and all aspects of life. Still, there are I look at nature as perfect. I love to look at it and be a part of it. At times, when I am in a peaceful mood I feel very connected to nature and all aspects of life. Still, I feel that nature is something to strive for. I feel that it is enlightened entities that simply exist while humans complicate existence with thoughts and worries. Therefore, I feel that interacting with nature is somewhat of a meditation. Going outside is like taking a deep breath for me. I feel attached to its beauty and resilience. To me nature represents strength, survival, and truth. Although I grew up in proximity to a major city, and feel comfortable around large buildings (aka unnatural structures), I still yearn for beautiful trees, fresh air, and the clear thoughts that nature brings me in an instance of encountering it. The natural environment can also be intimidating. Hurricanes, tornadoes, tsunamis, earthquakes, brush fires, etc. can be disastrous to humanity. Even when I encounter a wave at the beach, I feel powerless to its strength and ability to swallow me whole and spit me out lifeless. This is why I believe you need to go along with nature and trust that everything has some sort of rehabilitating plan. I feel that I need to study nature in order to familiarize myself with it, yet appreciate that at every moment, it is unique and different and wondrous. "One show to a customer. These appearances catch at my throat, they are the free gifts, the bright coppers at the roots of trees. It's all a matter of keeping my eyes open. Nature is like one of those line drawings of a tree that are puzzles for children." This is how I often feel in nature, constantly fascinated by the unfathomable images and interactions. Dillard goes on to describe how a field mouse cuts stems of grass in order to retrieve its seed, and how she is "constantly stumbling" over the mouse's "litterings". I feel that I am about at that level; forever chasing the wonders of nature.
