Look at all that nature! Smell all that nature! The salty sea, the wooded air, the equipment cleaning chemicals – take in a DEEEEEEEPP breath – HOLD IT – Release! My body feels infused with all this natural nature!
With reverence, I view the evidence of the grandeur of God’s firmament in this nature. Clomp-clomp-clomp pound my feet in? on? this rubbery-metaly machiney nature.
Whew, nature changes swiftly here. Woods followed by a walk to the beach, then a steep incline up to a beautiful vista.
This walk does wonders for my body. I approach these steep stairs. Usually, I would be huffing and puffing and panting and doubled over the whole way up. But look Ma! I’m taking these like a superhero! I reach the top with nary a deep breath. That magical mountain air! The caress of wind on my cheek, chilled to a consistent 68 degrees. I’ve arrived! I came all this way for this! For the moment!
Ah! The joys and wonders of nature!
