Finding calm and peace in this world, a challenge, a frustrating challenge.
But outside that door or window, nature. This can take many forms and does not have to be as extreme as mountains, deserts, or jungles. I believe what is essential for our well-being is to seek a balance between ourselves and the world around, and this is accomplished when the energy within interacts with nature, encompassing the same building blocks of life and particles as us. When you take a deep breath, the air composed of the same materials will replenish within us what has been lost or damaged. We are truly made of the stars and they, nature, can sustain and nourish us.
It can be wetland grasses covered with snow.
Or the sun shining through trees.
Or a frozen berry clinging to a tree.
