The Truth About Nature

The time I felt a spiritual connection to nature was when I went to a cabin that one of my distant relatives owns up in minnesota. I went with my mom, my sister, and my mom's friend and his son. It was completely secluded and right along the river. We had to drive for about 5 minutes just to get to the end of the driveway. There was no running water and an outhouse that didn't even have a door on it. It was surronded by trees and at night you could hear all of the animals, including wolves. We would make a fire and just sit around it at night and talk. It was so relaxing and I found myself spiritually connected to nature in a way I never experienced before. I know this sounds cliche, but I felt one with nature. I appreciated God's creation more. I very rarely get to sit and just enjoy nature. It altered my way of thinking in the sense that I never really appreciated nature. It is so beautiful and when you get a chance to just sit and enjoy it, it makes you think about things you usually don't spend time thinking about.
