A Walk with Nature!

What is nature? Is it the mountains and trees and brooks in the wild? Is it us the people, our dreams and aspirations? Is it just a concept that was put into motion by some divine entity? I do not know. Most people have trouble defining nature, but as they say, "I know it when I see it." I guess the silence is very real, almost like an unlimited broadcasting station, if only we tune in. True "One touch of nature makes the whole world kin" as quoted by William Shakespeare. Nature unfolds treasures to one's search, unseals our eyes, illumes our mind...puts our senses in order! True beauty lies in her amplitude. "How strange that nature does not knock, and yet does not intrude"....Yet discovering this idyllic place would mean keeping our sense of proportions regular.

But in the true sense of the term "Nature" ( from the Latin word "natura") refers to the phenomena of the physical universe and life. The concept of nature as a whole, the physical universe is one of several expansions of the original notion
. Nature constantly offers us simple pleasures to love....opening ourselves to the beauty around us is a way to bring more happiness and peace in our lives...helps us thrill to the excitement of our universe....Our natural world is alive with beauty and wonder. There's space, calm and solitude, portal to appreciation. Its stillness is an underrated sensation. Yet, when all is calm and quiet, we exhale with a sigh, perhaps closing our eyes for a moment, then, looking about, see beauty. Its sort of like a massage, stillness in the way it bestows relaxation to spots you didn't even know were tense. Experience nature at its undisturbed finest!

This was just a random thought and like Albert Einstein said "Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better"

I believe nature is the divine creatinon that unites human race. Natural beauty relaxes our mind and pampers the body.

Variety in nature makes it beautiful; from desert to lush green mountains, white sandy beaches to glaciers.--Kelly

Nature is one of the best teachers; in fact it is the class room from God.
Sunsets are God's way of telling us that tomorrow will be beautiful.
When you walk on the beach, in every grain of sand there is a story of the earth and not just dry history.
Every tall mountain will teach you humility.
The rainbow teaches you that people are forever changing; growing from small to big;
reaching for the heights up in the sky.

Nature is truly an art of God.

I can guess where this is going. Someone wil talk abt global warming:-). Oh come on, we live on earth which evolved from big bang. There is a scientifc explanation to the landscape & change in seasons. Just lead a normal life, the future generation will figure out how to survive.

Lisa,
It's abt nature being beautiful in all 4 seasons. Ppl embrace spring & summer but don't enjoy winters, but don't you agree it's very beautiful ? It's like walking in to a bar & you see 4 beautiful girls; one returns the smile, other continues to smoke, third gives a snobbish look & the fourth is totally drunk & lost. Go figure..

Steve,
Beer & Boat are not part of nature but man-made destruction of nature. Aged barley malt is beer & boats cause de-forestation.
