Reconnecting with nature. Walking, hiking, biking (even driving sometimes) in huge landscapes, where all our collective achievements (that Iβm vicariously proud of) and my individual pains melt into the sheer scale of mother-nature, reminding that she is the spring and the ocean of all life, and all of our imaginary importance comes and goes with us. She, on the other hand, always has been and always will be, and weβre all just some of her fleeting thoughts frozen briefly in time. We are not special. We are not apart of Nature. We are but a part of Nature. Sadly, it seems were losing that part at a high rate.
