Nature

Away from Paris, in a small town in Sarthe, I could smell the trees, feel the wet grass under my bare feet, see horses moving with grace, grazing quietly, see thousands of stars in the sky, the crescent moon behind light fluffy clouds, hear birds chirp, small insects buzz, see the fog, the sunrise, take long walks, introspect. All the things I love in life. Yet, I'm happy to be in Paris. Why is it so?

I love being alone with nature, but I love being in a crowd as well. I love communicating with trees and mountains, but I also long for human voices. I love observing animals in their natural surroundings, but I also like watching strangers in the metro, on the streets.

Where are the days when I could get all of this at once? Why are we humans replacing Mother nature instead of trying to live with her? Why do we always look to dominate her? I still need my Mother around me, and I think we all do though only some of us are aware of it. So lets use less electricity, use the common transport more often, walk when we can to work, recycle paper...let's try to work back towards the natural equilibrium!
