RECIPROCAL | NATURE PROMPT | MARCH
Magical Bond Between Nature and Creativity
Nature prompt: First week of March
Art is contemplation. It is the pleasure of the mind which searches into nature and which there divines the spirit of which nature herself is animated. –Auguste Rodin
For writers, architects, designers, and other creative professionals, nature is an incredible source of ideas and inspiration. Nature inspires creativity and the inner imagination when observed closely.
There is no better designer than nature. ~ Alexander McQueen
The achievements of nature are unique. When humanity needs something, nature is a generous provider and always provides. You can never regret spending time in the outdoors. The beginning and end of existence are found in nature. You cannot discover anything bad in nature since it is so serene and beautiful.
Whenever I experience life’s challenges, the best soul companion I’ve ever had is nature, which leads me and illuminates my path. I am able to better understand anything when I delve deeply into nature.
Nature has really aided me in my writing path and helped me become a creative poet and writer. When I sit down with nature, its beauty stirs up some strong feelings in me. The natural world’s sights, sounds, smells, and sensations transport me into my imagination.
This week’s prompt is,
Creativity and nature are inextricably linked. Tell us about your creative experiences with nature. Share your thoughts, experiences, and tales about how nature inspires creativity.
Inspiring imagery, metaphors, and strong emotions may all be found in nature, which makes it a potent source of inspiration for writers.
“When the last tree is cut, the last fish is caught, and the last river is polluted; when to breathe the air is sickening, you will realize, too late, that wealth is not in bank accounts and that you can’t eat money.”
― Alanis Obomsawin Indigenous filmmaker
Save nature, and it will save you. Always respect nature, as it’s the source of so many things in life.
