Tell me when that breeze is blowing...


Recently I told someone that the thing I love about nature is....that is just is. Nature is so simple, and everything happens as it should happen and has been happening for billions of years. True, nature is complicated, terrifically complicated, and that's what makes it beautiful. But that is also what makes it simple. You know with nature. You don't have to guess, or explain, like you do with humans. You don't have to read into nature, what it does, where a tree decides to grow. It just happens because it does, because it is beautiful and right.

I think it is also that I know nature will not try to hurt me. Yes, I know that it can. But it is not malicious. If nature destroys something, there is no hidden meaning, it is just an occurance. There is no need to question these events, or ask "why did this happen to me?". The answer is simple...nature will keep going on, no matter how much we want to stay still. No matter how much people or society want everything to be the same...nature will keep going on regardless. There is no point fighting it. This is why we should live in harmony with nature...for both of our sakes.

In that way I suppose nature is the kind of person I want to be. Just growing, and living, regardless. Nature makes no excuses and while it evolves to survive...it doesn't change for other people. If you don't like nature, you're gonna have to get over it because, there is nothing you can do about it. I also long for how nature is a part of everything. Nature connects everyone and everything - after all, we live on this planet! I feel like a part of nothing whenever I try to interact with people. With nature there is no difficulty...I already know I am a part of that. But people are completely alien to me.

What am I to do?
