experience of a natural setting
I went on run like any normal day to the Noland but this time I stopped to walk in the middle of it. I was going too fast to take in everything around me. Then I thought about how our generation is always constantly moving, ready for the next step. We forget to cherish the little things, we forget that sometimes it's okay to take things slow. When everything is moving so fast it affects our ability to notice our surroundings-- our surroundings that we take for granted most of the time.
I stopped to walk during my run which I never do, it's meant to be a work out, but for some reason I felt compelled to. My eyes were on a constant swivel, I wanted to take in everything all at once but I knew there was too much beauty for it to be that simple. I noticed how the light touched the tops of the trees. I noticed how the trees enveloped me on the path I was taking and I felt safe. I noticed all the features that make up the plants lining the ground. But I mainly noticed how mysterious nature is, and that's what makes it so beautiful.
