What Do We Give Nature?




I was under the impression I was just going to a family friend’s parent’s farm. I was going to simply relax among friends while my boyfriend’s mom went for her helicopter ride. We would stay for a couple hours and then head back home to the hustle and bustle of the city. Assumptions.

Upon arriving, I was overwhelmed at the simple beauty of the grounds. Weather worn barns, rolling hills, a nearby creek, and a garden filled to the brim with vegetables. No stress and no worries…

Nature gives me,  

A breath of Fresh Air. A chance to get away from the homework and paper grind. Rediscover the childhood wonder of exploring and wandering. Nothing simpler: laced up shoes, rolling hills, a hand to hold, and an adventure to be had.

Nature gives me,


A simple outing. A breath of fresh air. A chance to run and explore. A chance to enjoy the last few moments of summer before the cold weather comes to stay. 


That is what nature gives us. What do we give nature? The “gift” of our presence?
