Most of us feel that a few plants in our backyard and a glimpse of the mountain range in the distant horizon are enough nature. Nothing could be further from the truth. Nature is the all-encompassing entity within which we exist and it is nice to get back in touch with nature once in a while.
Nature is an amazing teacher. It teaches us to be humble and patient. It teaches us to respect forces that are beyond our control. But, most of all, it teaches us to relax and enjoy ourselves. It reminds us what it means to be alive.
