When you are out there you have a sensation that everything is in harmony with one another. All your senses are on alert and very strong. The bird that sing in nature you will hear while the one that sing on a street you will not hear because of the noise, the activities going around you, the traffic, the people. Your mind is more at rest in nature while in the city or a village. you mind can go crazy and never stops thinking and thinking not appreciating the things that is around you like the bird that sings.
Your eyes will see the flower that stands alone by the creek while you will not see the flower that stands alone beside the road. You will notice and feel ( touch) how tall and big is a tree in the forest while you will not feel it even if you walk right by it in a city or village. You will sit down by a river, a lake, a stream and listen to its murmurs, hear the breeze in the leaves, let the aroma of the grass enter your soul.
In nature, the pressure of the every day life, the responsibilities, the feelings of being watch, of being judge, the stress, everything you have to struggle with, you can forget and let go because nature has a way to bring you the calm, the harmony, the beauty of what life is all about.
In one word it brings you: Peace
