It's where I find peace, a better version of myself, distance from the pressures of life and time to think. The forest, local gardens, the beach...places where birds sing as they flit from branch to branch; it makes me wish I was one of them, their lives seem so uncomplicated and being able to fly would be amazing.
Or maybe I'd be a squirrel racing from place to place with industrious intent, darting here and there with quick movements stopping only to pick up some food I'd found to store away for the winter. I'm not sure I could deal with all the fur, but with careful grooming I would probably make it work.
I can't be a bird though, and it's unlikely I'll ever wake up in a tree as a squirrel, but I can find nature, natural places, and be within it and be embraced
I recently found myself in a pine forest, a clear blue day but cool in the shade; it wasn't by accident.
I walked for an hour the needle covered ground dampening the sound of my hiking boots on the ground, its layers masking that I'd even been there, the breeze caused the trees to sing a soft whistling music that might have been eerie at night but was beautiful and calming during the sunlit day. I felt like the only person for miles but wasn't.
I sat, my back resting against the trunk of a tree and as the person I was walking with sank beside me a sense of calm settled over me, over us, and without words we opened ourselves to our surroundings enjoying the simple pleasure of nature, the tranquillity, togetherness and how the world seemed to wrap itself around us in a welcoming embrace. It was a lovely moment.
My eyes closed and I slept, minutes only, and when I woke...I wasn't a bird or a squirrel, but I knew what it was like to be embraced by nature.
If you are able to become a squirrel, I think it would be no problem for you to be a bird as well.
😂 I know it's time to start thinking about a beauty salon for squirrels.
Maybe I could be a bird one month and a squirrel the next and alternate between the two? I'd need my manbird and squirrelman as well of course.

😅😂 good idea 💡
The serenity we found in nature is really on the top!! I also love the forest, although I am afraid to walk in the depths of it, but just by looking at it and just by feeling the air it gives, I find tranquility!
Nature provides a lovely space for us to feel nurtured and a little closer to the planet and our inner selves.
Thanks for your comment.

this is where i find my peace. nature is a great healer, and getting closer always help to relax our mind body and soul.
.... my head is popping out of water😉
This looks like a lovely spot and water is so soothing and calming. I love this photo also, the sunset, warmth of the colours and the reflections in the water.

Nature is the source of peacefulness and calmness. Sometimes, when we are exhausted or in agony we find peace in nature by sitting there for hours and hours pondering over the nature and thinking of ourselves.
Do you have a special place to find nature and those peaceful moments?
Becca 🌷
Yes! I have! The university in which i read is surrounded by nature. I used to sit under the tress, surrounded by lush green mountains. There is a picture here, you can have a glimpse on it:
Nature is such a wonderful thing. A lot of people take it for granted, but it always has a calming effect. Maybe because it is natural to us, or it taps into our prehistoric ancestry, nature can bring a lot of peace and relaxation. I'm happy you were able to enjoy it with your partner at your side.
I think that humans have an innate need to be in nature, close to it, and that probably stems from the fact that thousands of years ago it's how life was for humans as you say.
Thanks for your comment.

To be embraced by nature and to know that we are one with her is one of the most beautiful sensations in the world, because she tells us that we are one.
I know that emotion and it is beautiful! Just like the song you were listening to.
I closed my eyes and tried to imagine the place where you were... how wonderful... I was carried away by your words. Thank you Becca❤️
It was a lovely moment and it's moments like this we try to find when possible; life can be hectic and complicated but moments like this provide a nice balance.
I'm glad you liked the song too.
Becca 🌷
I agree, it is the right balance of nature for everyday life. Hugs Becca ❤️
