How I Am Inspired By The Calm Beauty Of Nature
My inspiration from nature
Thank you, Sahil
I love nature as Sahil Patel introduced me. I am in awe of nature and I have an avid interest in it.
Although Sahil loves nature, he has asked me to host this column. I think it is extremely generous of him to do so.
I would like to thank Sahil for giving me this opportunity to begin a column in Reciprocal on nature.
I appreciate this young man who dreams of new and exciting ideas and he suddenly brought this new angle of starting a column all about Inspirations From nature in his publication Reciprocal.
No wonder Donnette Anglin in You’re Invited to My New Home; Join Us at Reciprocal Publication. and Jan Sebastian in Reciprocal is a✊🏼Medium Publication! wrote accolades and promoted his publication. Everyone recognizes a person with a good heart.
It is his wish as well as his team comprising of Yana Bostongirl and Dr. Preeti Singh and that all the wellwishers of Reciprocal should join him in his endeavor to promote nature stories.
Nature inspires me to connect with life
Yesterday, when I went for my walk I found the above rock garden. It was made by the gardener by collecting the elements of nature.
Nature comprises rocks, water, air, and life. It refers to living plants and animals, weather, matter, and energy.
The term often refers to the “natural environment” which is very vast.
(The manufactured objects are generally not considered part of nature.)
The above rock garden was a collection of all the natural elements of nature. There were plants, water, and rocks and when I had a conversation with the gardener he told me that he had collected these from surrounding areas and put them together for passersby to sit and enjoy nature. I found it very beautiful.
If you truly love nature, you will find beauty everywhere. — Laura Ingalls Wilder.
When I took a more focused look at this rock garden I found a door where there were some seats where people could sit and enjoy the natural surroundings. It was calm and peaceful.
I heard the gentle wind rustling by. It was calm.
As always happens, close to this natural garden there was some commercialization and some swings and tourist-friendly things were around. I did not mind it as people were enjoying the environment and kids were playing.
wherever I go I just take photographs of the different moods of nature. I have seen the soft side and the terror of nature.
Taking a walk and sometimes sitting in this calm and quiet place I began to think and draw inspiration from nature.
What were my thoughts?
In every experience in my life,nature has helped me to grow my personality in joyous moments and in sadness. Nature is not straight divided lines. It just flows like a curve, River, moves around and flows its energy through a floodplain, forming a circular and serpentine path.
A mountain moves slowly up to the peak again in a circular direction. The straight route is only by climbing a rapid slope.
My everyday life is all over the place. It does not move in a straight line either. I try this and that. When I move up the ladder suddenly I slope down when events change. This is the law of nature. It does not let anyone remain static. Everyone moves on in life.
I move from one side to the other vacillating between careers, relationships, people, and movement.
This is the model given to us by nature. Just as nature does not move in one line it does not let us do so either. We have good days and ordinary days. Some people are always with us, some move on, our careers change and so also relationships.
Nature is powerful and divine. it provides us with fresh air, water, homes, and soil that grows food for us.
It is also a healer. It makes us leave behind unhappy moments when it brings us a joyous time.
All these thoughts crossed my mind.
It inspires me to move and reconnect with life by walking, sitting, or gazing in a calm serene place looking at the sky above and the earth below, and thinking about life. Nature is a process and not a one-day inspiration for me. It is a healer at every stage of my life.
At a start of a column, I would love to receive your stories and hear the thoughts that came into your mind about nature and how it inspires you.It inspires me in all my life incidents.
Whenever I have thought it is the end of the world, it helped me change my thinking and begin to live again.It brings me hope and happiness to start afresh and give gratitude for what I have.
Whenever I am at my wit's end the universe gives me a signal and nature inspires me to move on and live with positivity. It gives me the opportunity to be calm and to move on.
In short, the prompt would be a story about How you are inspired by nature
“How I am inspired by nature”
