nature: a part of or apart from?

dope thread....this stuff is actaully more important than the average joe thinks...the ant in the maze thing said here is on point.
 
SilverF- I thought I had responded to your last post but i guess it was just in thought:)

Now that you have a car- take a drive on your own!
Are you within driving distance to the water there? Go to the beach or to the woods on your own!
I miss that about living on the island-
I would LOVE to sit on the rocks, watching the waves crash against them.....walking the beach alone... ..
Even when my husband and I go hiking we wander on our own a bit......
Its good for you.
Its nice to do with people or your partner but I think you can feel a stronger connection to the earth- you aren't feeling the energy of the other person when you wander alone.......
I think it'd be good for you SF....do it:) and take pictures of oregon for the photo thread so i can see:) hahaha
 
I've always felt a really strong connection with nature. I'm fortunate enough for my family to own land in grand lake and glenwood, so ever since I was little I've spent a lot of time in the middle of the forests up there, it's absolutely beautiful and calming. I'd post pictures here but I don't know if that would be ok, so just message me if you want to see some. in grand lake there used to be a deer that would actually walk up to the cabin and stand around while the family would talk, it would get really close and even lay down near us, that was really cool.
Something in nature that really reminds me of myself is a river, they go through cycles throughout the months where they run really high and fast, kind of tearing up the land around them and changing the entire environment, and sometimes where there's less rain they run very calmly and offer some sort of relaxation for everything around them. this relates to me I think because when things get hectic, and too much is happening(the metaphor being a lot of rain or snow runoff), I tend to collapse, sometimes relapse and just lose myself emotionally, ruining a lot of my relationships with people around me. And sometimes when everything is good and clam I can keep myself stable and be really helpful to everyone around me.
 
I've always loved nature. It's so beautiful and relaxing unlike being out in society. I have plans this summer to do an "Into the Wild" type thing somewhere in America. Backpacking, exploring, and living and surviving in the wilderness either by myself or with someone else who wants to do it with me, but I doubt any of my friends would enjoy it unfortunstrly. I'm fine being by myself for long periods of time and I think it would be a very fun and rewarding challenge for myself to accomplish.

Anyone else lived off the land? Or have seen the movie into the wild and enjoyed it?

--Ooboom, definetely post them pictures! I dont see why it wouldnt be allowed. You arent allowed to PM yet!
 
Alright. These are all of the place in Grand lake, I'll have some from glenwood by next thursday or friday.
These two are off the back porch, one about midday and the other a few minutes after sunset.

My mistake, I actually have one from my dad's retirement house near cripple creek where he and his wife have ten acres and a pretty nice house. This is off their back porch there.

Being out in nature is absolutely vital to my emotional well-being. There is nothing like being outdoors on a perfect, blue sky sunny day, to get one's natural endorphins kickin' in. I think I would just fade away if I could not be outdoors on a regular basis.

It has been a long time since I have been up in the mountains. That is something I would definitely like to do this summer!
 
i grew up on a 2000 acre dairy farm in the green mountains. now i realize what an incredible gift that was. lived in nyc and spent time in several other northeast cities, tired of snow and cold and moved to south florida for 10 years. after 15 yrs in urban areas, i moved to north florida and back to the woods.
i miss the mountains sometimes, wish i had more time to spend at the ocean, but i've got a great isolated 7 acre spot in the woods away from people, noise, light pollution, and the omnipresent hum of urban/suburban areas.
i grow my own veg, have a few dogs, stare at the stars, have a great treehouse that i love to go in at night and watch what strolls by below. i'm never, never bored here and can't imagine living anywhere else.
would love to be a bird for a day (lol) just to feel what flying at will would be like.
