For a while I hated this! The house would always be so hot and humid; I couldn’t even go in my room in the daytime. When night came around, and my room was livable, I would crank the windows open and lay in bed while the natural sounds from outside filled my room. When I came to college last year and lived in a high-rise dorm I discovered how much I missed sleeping with the sounds of blowing wind and mysterious animals rustling on the woods. I missed nature.
People try to recreate nature but it just can’t be done and won’t be the same. We as human beings are natural and are part of this complete natural world. It is essential that we keep this natural world living so that we can live. We have needs of food and water. Our homes, even though not naturally made, can be fabricated from natural materials. With out nature we do not exist. It’s the air we breathe and the land upon which we walk on.
The picture above is a photo I took in the Galapagos Islands. It encapsulates nature and its wonders. The way the iguanas skin resembles the rock it sits on to me is extraordinary. The Galapagos Islands are possibly the coolest place on earth. It was hard to leave there and not want to be in nature all of the time.
Nice opening sentence...
ReplyDeleteMy mother is one who insists on having the AC on asan (as soon as necessary) whereas my father loves the sensation you talked about- of feeling the natural breeze and hearing the sounds outside his windows while he sleeps...
Your post made me think of them:)
