Spend time in nature

I got to go to Johns Island and i get to go again tomorrow to work and when i do i get to be closer to the woods.. my friends house in in a very rural area .. it’s nice.. quiet no sirines no Frankie amusement park no crotch rocket motor cycles racing on patriot blvd

since i live in the middle of a city now instead of ninty acres of woods and i have no car this is very difficult to do but i have to i need it.. somehow i have to get to the woods or beach soon..

If only I could find a good place. I live in tourist town USA, or Myrtle Beach, which is filled with restaurants and bars, not to mention all these awful beach stores. The only nature I see is in small patches off of the highways. There aren’t many state parks around here that just let you wander aimlessly. There is a golf course near my house, though, but if I walk on it, I always get the stink eye from the golfers. When I was in college, there was a patch of wooded area at the end of the university that said “No Trespassing.” But that didn’t stop me. I used to go there to reflect and be alone. To get away from humanity. I meditated and whatnot and I’m looking for another safe and peaceful haven.

...spent time in my mother’s back yard yesterday- gardening, weeding and building a rock wall in lieu of Fathers Day gifts.
I skipped church so I could do yard work with Mom and as I was laboring I just happened to glance next to me and saw a beam of sunshine lighting up a rock with a beautiful butterfly resting atop of it.
I ended up sitting back on my heels and just watching the beam of sunshine and butterfly.
I am so glad I skipped church and was outside all day.
Nature is beautiful…

I love spending time in nature. Even just recently for a lunch break I had during my SAT practice test, I drove 15 min from my school just to go eat lunch looking out into the bay, and we only had a 30 min break, I love nature toooo much

I have added this to the list of my life long goals.

This summer I went on a 5 week camping trip in the pacific northwest and got so in touch with nature it was incredible. Sleeping Under the stars really puts you in perspective. Now, I just have to continue to spend time in nature even though I am back in reality

It’s just too cold and miserable outside. Come spring, this will go back on my list.

If only nature was warmer!

I went for a mini-walk this week in the Tuileries. It was lovely, but the whipping wind tends to kill the fun. I have a deep preference for warmth.

Last night i read some of Walt Whitman’s “Leaves of Grass.”

he has a way of encouraging one to spend time with nature.
