11 days alone in nature

Isn't nature the best instructor of wisdom that man has to offer? Building airplanes from studying birds, understanding radar from bats, and so on... When it comes to solving people's mental and emotional problems, nature is the best physician. This is a post by @galenkp for the interactive weekend subject.

When people enjoy the water and the forest equally, I am a prime illustration of human avarice. Please don't force me to select between the two options. I frequently visit the forest for activities that involve more frequent contact with nature. Simply because I can be more active in that location, which is ideal for the conditions and offers many new experiences after spending over 20 years of my childhood living near the sea.

It helps me to boost my mood and the psychological issues I'm having in locations like that. Going alone would undoubtedly be preferable for me, as there would be no need to wait, consider the hazards, or meticulously plan the amenities. Silence is the cleanest and most seductive sound in nature, in my opinion. In actuality, there are several noises of wind, water, and animals, so it is not truly silent. The silence here comes from within and is inspired by it.

Beginning July 31, 2021, my memories and most memorable times with nature will begin. When I returned from a week in the forest with friends during my temporary unemployment owing to the Covid 19 epidemic, I received a new update from 6 p.m. that day, stating that due to the difficult outbreak, there will be rigorous lockdown. The enormous number of infections makes things more difficult. When I chose to go grocery shopping for 14 days, I made no reservations (because the previous batches were also about 14 days after loosening). This is my longest foray into the woods by myself (I have experienced long walks from previous times).

It was a period of immense anxiety and uncertainty, with daily doses of unpleasant news and the threat of being imprisoned for an extended period of time at home. Every day, I stay on a waterfall in the forest in Hoa Bac commune, Da Nang, feeling free and healed from phantom worries. I typically travel about to explore the local areas, in addition to reading novels in a hammock in the shade of trees. Waterfalls and rocks have always piqued my curiosity. It's the amazing and magnificent artwork built through time by the tenacity of water and wind, in my opinion.

When viewed with the heart, rough or mossy rocks have far more beauty than that. Nature's kneading creates new shapes, such as varied waterfall flows, where plant and floral life takes root through the rocks. That ferocious vitality also assisted me in learning something useful for myself in this confusing existence. Isn't perseverance also a moral beauty?

When I'm in charge of the phone or the internet while I'm here, I notice that I'm not just healthier, but I'm also less bored. It forces me to concentrate on observing and appreciating the present moment. I generally have breakfast, sip coffee in the morning under the waterfall, and feed and observe the stream fish. As a masagge treatment, I can soak my foot in water and let them gnaw away at dead skin cells. They are even more liberated than the roughly one million people who are enslaved beneath the city and stroll around with kitchens, beds, and miniature gardens on a daily basis.

I enjoy looking at unusual flowers, fruits, and animals, as well as watching ants communicate and dine together. Despite my lack of knowledge, it inspired me to learn more and find my own answers. Oh, I can't forget the occasions when I find solutions to my questions when it comes to studying.

You'd be afraid if you were in a deserted spot in the woods like that and didn't have a fire, right? I'm curious about what I'm terrified of, so I've been cooking since the afternoon, and when night falls, all that's left is a black night and the stars in the sky; I'd like to see if there's a spiritual ghost or not. Or simply imagined items in one's head.I also slept right on the rocks close to the waterfall, with no tent or curtain to keep me from being exposed to the elements. Only use an insulating pad under the back.

I was curious as to how mosquitoes worked; occasionally, something crawled on me, and I would check it with a flashlight, lie on my back and listen to unusual noises. Strange noises, such as insects, wind whistling through trees, or animals grazing and breaking dry limbs, are bound to make people think of ghosts.

When I put the night dew on my face when I wake up, I usually feel better since it enhances the body's resistance (I think). Because we only experience the cold of the air conditioner and the stuffy air in the confined room, most of us miss out on the first cool moment after waking up thanks to the natural wind. Are you going to be envious of me?

Invisible anxieties prevent many individuals from experiencing the delight of being alone in the outdoors, and we don't feel it all when we are alone if we go in a throng. Distracted concentration and silence are required. And I believe that when there are several aspects like that, beautiful and exciting moments are more likely to arise. It's straightforward and straightforward.

When the locals led the way for the police to pick me up and take me back to the street on the 11th day, I was unable to complete my 14 days in the jungle. The reason is amusing: they saw me heading into the woods alone after not seeing me for a long time and assumed I had committed suicide in the woods:D. Anyway, it was one of the most unforgettable times in my life when I was truly happy. I'm happy and I'm learning a lot of new stuff.

Thank you for staying with me all the way to the end.
