How can something so fragile and sensitive be so unbreakable? That’s nature. It can sweep us off the face of the earth with just a single breath or flood us with ocean water.
It gifts us a tremendous sense of beauty: flowers that bloom in early spring, leaves that fall silently in autumn and change colors with each season, or the sparkling snow that crunches beneath our boots.
The dense forest and the sunlit surface of the lake; a house nestled in greenery atop a mountain; a grassy slope leading to the water; the splash of water, the silvery scales of fish; ducks diving swiftly to catch a fly or bug just above the lake’s surface.
Roots burrow into the ground like soft and delicate feathers. Scents and fragrances. Nature is strong, and no concrete or cement can stop it. It twists and moves on. Something so calm yet so profound and turbulent – that’s water. The bright, dewy green, the heady fragrance of strawberries and peonies, the juiciness and ripeness of fruits – that’s summer.
Nature is the ceaseless hum of cicadas, the whistle of the wind, and the flight of a butterfly. When you’re in nature, the meaning of life always reveals itself. It turns out to be simple – lying on soft moss under a tree, gazing at the lilac sky and the unfolding branches of pines. Holding a bouquet of lupins, listening to the trill of an oriole, and eating currant berries one after the other.
Let nature inspire me when I think that nothing can be fixed. Problems may come to us very suddenly, but I will always gather flowers. I will always rush to the garden, the forest, the river, and the lake. I will always breathe the fresh air, admire the clear sky, listen to the bird’s trill, and the rustle of trees.
