Simple Joys Nature Can Offer

By Vic Odarve

Mother Nature has, and always be, offers her inexpensive entertainment. From the forested land and mountains, an orchestra of birds can be heard doing the choir. In the sky, the canopy of clouds is drifting above our heads doing a military drill and at night stars are twinkling in unison like an entertainment in the heavens. Back to our sandy beaches and rivers, breathtaking sights will stick in your mind for the rest of your life. Nature has, and forever be, gives pleasure free of charge to everybody!

A place to meet all the fairies and other magical creatures

It is always a joy to visit farms with our family and kids as weekend retreat area. Nearby are mountains, dense forest, and a pristine river. What we achieve there! Feel the earth. We feel like walking through mist and clouds along the mountain ranges, meet all the fairies and magical creatures and watch the birds doing the orchestra along the canopies. By remembering our good old childhood days, it is sort of feeling that cannot be captured on camera and more than the historic pictures hanging on the wall.

During daytime, clouds can be observed drifting above our heads. At nighttime, it is a joy to see the canopy of stars twinkling in all the heavens; stretching like an enormous spider’s web scattered in all directions across the vastness of the cosmic ocean. We experience the presence of our Creator; we also owe our lives to these stars. By thus doing, we explore the joy the Nature gives. Walking alone or with your love ones along the sandy beaches or take a ride on a floating restaurant alongside in a river is a joy by itself. You may spend some moments tracking fireflies at the banks of a river or the thrill of observing trees decorated with bird’s nests or dined with your family seeing the beautiful panorama underlining the river upstream will open our eyes to the outside world. For a moment, we feel the tranquility of our lives from the toxic city life.

Nature and mankind...No heartaches and pains in city life

The most delightful adventure is to visit mountains, rivers, and beaches of the place where you grew up particularly at your hometown and came back every summer or fiesta celebration enjoying “the best of both worlds. ”It is like an extraordinary privilege. The experience can assist us to appreciate the beauty of nature at this moment of tremendous turmoil brought by the pandemic Covid 19.

For those life teeming with heartaches and pains as well as to those who want to know and feel what love is, science advises them to go outside and relax. As we see it, Nature gives us pleasure free of charge to everybody, from forested lands and mountains, clouds, and stars, to sandy beaches and rivers. It is all given unconditionally… to the poor, the rich, and the mighty!
