Reflection

It's always good to take the time to reflect and to think through the confusion caused by modernity; and a walk through the forest certainly allows you time for reflection. Clean air allows you to breathe, open vista or woodland embrace, both stir the spirit as step by step you remake the connection. A connection which is real and touches something distant within you, it's a connection you really feel.  Although you may not be able to fully articulate the connection through words, you know you feel whole in a way you don't in our modern world, a world of paradox with almost total connection and simultaneous isolation. To steal Blurs album title 'Modern life is rubbish' or at least elements of it can be. Modern life is built on falsehoods, whereas nature is all truth. The forest is always neutral and nature is always honest, no false agendas, no bullshit, and in our 24/7 world of media/communication/saturation, I find that incredibly refreshing.  Walk on, tune in, blot out.
