Nature effects me in numerous ways. It soothes us, gives us a place to explore and watch life at its best. I definitely feel as though nature comforts me. Walking through the outdoors with a breeze is the best way to take my mind off of things and relax me. Listening to birds, or sitting on my porch listening to the rainfall is another aspect of nature that I love to experience. Nature is where everthing began. Before houses and cities were built, there were forests and plains. Before technology, nature was one of the only things to keep people occupied. With this in mind, I feel as though nature is in touch with our spiritual side. Nature lets us just roam free and do as we wish. Nature and our spiritual side become one when exploring and relaxing with something you love. Nature "heals" our spiritual side when we just need to take our mind off of things. Nature is an absolutely marvelous place, and I love nature.
