People who have found their connection with nature look forward to the next encounter with the same enthusiasm as a child has looking forward to Christmas. They train their bodies, get up early and drive happily for hundreds of miles to spend time in the beauty and stunning quiet of nature's refuge.
When we are completely surrounded and immersed in nature we can sense the power of life bursting into being. The beauty and mystery of creation can be so moving we feel as though we have come home, to a wholeness and a comforting presence. Though the experience may be brand new, the feeling of this connection is joyful and deeply familiar.
