Nature is a silent healer, a sacred rhythm that speaks without words. In its towering mountains, whispering trees, and endless skies, we find a reflection of our own soul—calm, chaotic, yet deeply connected.
An overlooked reason why a lot of people are miserable in the modern era is because we’re so divorced from the natural world. Many of us never encounter mountains, forests, fens, rivers. Screens can’t be our whole lives. Books and nature cure a great many ills.

"Rest is not idleness, and to lie sometimes on the grass under trees on a summer's day, listening to the murmur of the water, or watching the clouds float across the sky, is by no means a waste of time." ~John Lubbock, The Use Of Life, Art: Gezin van de rie.
“We fell in love, despite our differences, and once we did, something rare and beautiful was created. For me, love like that has only happened once, and that's why every minute we spent together has been seared in my memory. I'll never forget a single moment of it.”
"And with every step I took it became more impossible for me to turn back. And my mind was empty—or it was as though my mind had become one enormous, anaesthetized wound. I thought only, One day I'll weep for this. One of these days I'll start to cry."
