Connecting With Nature #17

The bright sun fought the thick branches of the trees to try and reach the ground. I walked under the branches getting the patterned sun look on my skin. The slight covering of the trees cooled my skin from the heat of the sun. The slight sun warmed my skin from the cooling of breeze that was bustling through the forest. I walked along the thickness of the brush bellow touching my hands along every tree as I went. I could feel every bump and crevice in the bark of the trees. It was soothing walking along and feeling nature through my fingers and under my toes. I could hear my friends calling out to me because they got a little bit ahead of me. I ran up to meet them where we came upon a creek. Here the sun was beating down and I could feel my skin begin to heat up immediately. We all had the same idea because we all began to take out shoes off and walk into the creek. The cool water immediately gave me chills because of how warm my skin was from the sun. I could feel the clay-like mud beneath my toes. It felt soothing until I hit something hard. I bent down and dug up to hard object to find a beautiful rock. Me and my friends admired the nature made beauty. That day I felt more connected with nature because I was truly enjoying the many wonders it provides. Trees gave me shade from the wonderful warmth of the sun. The trees trunk through my hands gave me peace and tranquility. The cooling water gave me perfect cooling amount from the hot air. The beautiful rock gave me admiration for the true beauty that nature provides with no help from us as the human race. Sometimes we go through life forgetting how truly amazing the world is around us when we just take time out of our busy lives to enjoy it.
