Nature Walk

 Natural environments have a tremendous impact on our emotions and improve our well-being. Nature is restorative, calming and it makes us peaceful from within. 

Living in the city we are continuously surrounded by blaring screens, traffic horns and noise.

Let us imagine a walk in the early winter morning, with ourselves.

The road is resplendent with tall trees on both sides. It is one of those days when time is not measured by the clock but by the fragrant coolness that enters lazily through your nostrils and leaves pools of contentment in its wake. The morning is arrested at the delightful moment which falls between the hush of dawn and the waking up din of a young city. There are people around, but they seem wrapped in dreams which are yet to wake up

There is the neon green of young grass, and the deep green of mature grass. Dew shimmers in hazy blue shadows on the trembling slender stalks. Someone has walked across the field leaving dew-less footprints of dulled green on a sea of glitter. There is the vivid green of ferns growing

It is in silence that one can really reconnect with some of the most important thoughts and feelings that have lost their voice in the humdrum of the city. Silence is an important ingredient for a healthy life and becoming increasingly rare to find. Silence also lets us introspect and come back renewed and refreshed. 

Walking in the nature is what comes naturally to the people living a fulfilling life in any corner of the world. Maybe it is time we start to walk and experience the vastness and serenity of the nature and become a part of it.
