There's something so cathartic about separating yourself from the world and experiencing nature. I worked on homework for several hours today and then decided that I needed to get out. I got on my moped and took a bunch of random, country roads all over Ozark- I felt at peace during my expedition and for a couple of hours afterwards.
Now, I'm not advocating complete separation from the the world, we can't just run off into the woods and avoid people, and the internet, and work, and school, and everything else that drives us crazy sometimes. Those things are a part of life, and very few people can escape to a life of hermetism (I know I never could).
But there's something so reassuring about the unyielding harmony of nature. It's so beautiful sometimes, leaves gleaming in the sunlight, water flowing peacefully in a river or stream, the soft light that a setting sun baths the surrounding landscape in... it just gets to me.
