Nature is Art

We all go through similar routines.

Every day, we wake up, eat some sort of breakfast, shower, get dressed, go to school or work (sometimes both), then repeat the same daily routine over, and over, and over.

Do we ever stop to look at nature and the little lives within it? Do we ever breathe a deep breath of fresh air just to truly take in and acknowledge all that life has to offer? Maybe most of us are too transfixed in our new technology and we do not notice the steady hum of the wind sweeping through the grass or the little squirrel who chases his friend around a tree.

Lives are changing and technology is evolving – I get that. I understand the need for updated forms of phones and gadgets so we can keep up with the daily pace of new information and new lives; however, is there not also a need for a break from the hustle and bustle of school, work, social networking, and the lives of celebrities? What if we each took a day to truly experience the art of living? Maybe then we would see how the the sun glistens along the sweeping movements of the stream or the way the rays shine off the dewdrops in the early morning grass. Maybe then we would appreciate the art of life.

Every day, nature amazes me in so many ways. The pureness of the lives within and the surprising events which take place because of it happen while we sink into the latest technology. Sometimes, we consume ourselves too much with the stresses of our everyday lives. If we just stop to take a moment to appreciate it, then (maybe) we will understand what should remain important in our lives.

Breathe in the fresh air. Take a walk through the woods. Bury your feet in the sand.
