When out in nature, we often feel so small, dwarfed by the grand sweep of the stars, the oceans, and the mountains. And yet we are still part of it all - connected to the miracle of the first flower to emerge from the soil, awed by the iridescent flash of wings in mid-flight, the feeling of a raindrop rolling down the face, or the spiralling song of a bird up above.
Nature can be a wonderful friend, a source of true healing and inspiration. It is full of enduring beauty, wonder, and mystery — a place that nourishes us physically and spiritually every single day.
In nature, we can know that, as small and short-lived as we are, we still belong to the universe. We are part of the everlasting grandeur and mystery. And our lives are inseparable from the world’s many different natural spectacles, breathtaking occurrences, and unforgettable magic moments.
