Nature is so sweet. It takes a while until I actually long for the outdoors and I am reminded of how beautiful creation is. Sometimes I think architecture is beautiful, or cars are beautiful, or film or art is beautiful. I think some people get lost in all of this and concentrate too much on praising man made things. Nothing compares though.
I feel somewhat confined sometimes. Always in indoor rooms and walls are always surrounding me. Interiors always have walls and paths where you have to walk or follow. They are so systematic and never really giving you space to explore.
I love the outdoors because you can look past the horizon and realize how vast creation is. There is nothing limiting you. There are no ends of the earth. Its just one giant sphere. When you walk in nature you create your own paths, you can go your own ways; discovering new things on your own.
It's not convenient. There are no signs telling you what you are going to see next like how building signs or road signs inform you. There is that mystery that I think we need.
I went on a walk the other day by my school. The mountains are huge in the west and the trees are not strategically placed like the ones in the city. I walked along the grass and noticed the beautiful swirls of the snow. The wind and the elements have shaped it quite nicely. Then I saw something in the snow that totally ruined its beauty. It was this little black empty canteen of tobacco. It was so ugly that it kind of made me angry.
