The Magic of Nature
A whole new world awaits beyond the mountains, across deserts, deep in the jungles, under the seas. Beneath the stars, life can be so much more than just a plan to follow, a story with countless adventures, filled with danger and excitement. Are you brave enough to reach out and reveal the precious se- crets hiding? As you enter nature, you feel the difference at your feet: the gritty sand; the soft snow; the lush grass, and the rich dirt. You hear the difference: the sing- ing birds; the whooshing wind; the breaking waves. You smell the difference: the stale smell of the sea; the earthy smell of the woods; the fresh air of the snow. While you travel around, the best part comes when you open your eyes. You now can see nature: the tall mountains with snow canopies, the green for- est that covers everything beneath it, the pure sea with its invisible secrets, the smooth desert made out of sand. The waterfalls, the meadows, the beaches. What you sense from the wilderness is indescribable, but the feeling is simply a relief. A break from life; a moment to breathe. Nature is magical; it puts a spell on you to always want to come back. Just to touch snow again. To hear the birds tweet from the trees. To see the wa- ter sprinkle at sunset. At the end of the day, you can never stop exploring this whole new world you have just revealed.
