Nature affects us in every way. We all came from nature at some point. I take comfort in the presence of nature. Some parts of nature can be beautiful, others can be scary. The beauty of nature would be the landscape, the fresh air, and just having a healthy body. The scary part would be the survival of the fittest, and not everything working out the way you would want it to. Just getting lost in the woods for the day is very peaceful; mainly why I enjoy hunting.
There is a "need" to return to nature. After a stressful day, there's nothing better than taking a run outside. When discovering different types of nature, in a different location, it's breathtaking. Swimming in the ocean or even a lake is a beautiful thing. Sometimes we need to put all technology aside and reconnect our thoughts with things we want to do, not influenced by others.
There is a connection with nature and our spiritual side, at least I think so. There are some many different places to discover.You just have to get out there. In the future I hope to travel other places to discover different landscapes. I hope to see the lights of Alaska, the beauty of Ireland. Nature uplifts you. When going camping in the woods for the weekend and there is no cell phone service, you're just having fun. All worries are put to the side as nature lifts your spirit.
Beautifully and eloquently put, Megan. You do well in bringing attention to the importance of nature and the natural world as a place that we can go to 'recharge our batteries' mentally and physically.
