The Nature of Nature

So I have this thing about being in nature: I love it. I don't know why. Me and nature just connect as if we are in a relationship or something. It is as if I can have a conversation with the leaves on the trees or the freshly cut grass. Who knows?

I walk around the pond at my house and feel this peace befall me. It is unlike something that you could feel in an enclosed space. I'm not sure why but this is just a fact. I feel as if the world around me is protecting me in a way which of course is not true. The world around me is a destructive world that has hurricanes, earthquakes and tornadoes which are NATURAL phenomenon.

Somehow I still feel like it is a safety blanket even though I know how destructive the world can be. It is just how I feel. Walking back in my property I feel that. It is as if I don't have to think. I can just BE. I can exist for a moment like a rock on the side of the road. I don't have to make plans for my future or go apply for a summer job. I don't have to think at all.

Nature expects nothing of me which is so amazing. I don't debate rhetoric with it. It will never ask me to defend my sexuality or make me feel inadequate because of it. It is just there for me to enjoy immensely.

I got to pet the neighbor's horses today. Yes, I was trespassing. Just for a little while, though. I didn't hurt anything. The horsies were definitely disappointed that I didn't have any food, though. They kept trying to eat my jacket. It was sooo cute.

But anyways. Now I'm done. Concrete. Construction. Sky scrapers.
