Transcendentalism

I do quite often feel the need to go back to nature.  When I feel like I need to get some space, I usually go for a run.  It's calming how the light breeze caresses my face and the warm sun hugs me from behind.  It just relieves all the day's stresses that could otherwise ruin the rest of my day. 
When thinking of nature, I usually associate it with peace and freedom.  There's something so calming about sitting in the woods watching other creatures live their simple lives.  I feel like if we humans paid more attention to nature, the world would be a much better place.  Animals could teach us so much.  I actually believe that nature holds the key to understanding our spiritual selves.

  1. Peace and freedom are two fantastic descriptors for nature and the feelings that it invokes. There is something very liberating about casting off all of the restrictions of our modern lives and setting off into the natural world and embracing the subtleties.
