I believe in the power of nature. When I lay in the grass with the sun wrapping around my skin like a warm blanket and the wind whispering in the background, I am where I should be. When I stand on a mountainside and I gaze out upon the stretch of trees I am overcome with a sense of insignificance. When I see a coyote trotting quietly through the desert brush I see another world.
My daily world is not one where I feel in touch with nature. I sit in air conditioned buildings with fluorescent artificial light, and aside from the short walk across a parking lot to my car I do not get to spend a lot of time outside.
