As the world gets more out of control, the bigger role nature plays in helping bring calm. When I’m out there, it’s a time to relax, time to breathe and time to find answers to all those questions circling in the head. I dove into the parking lot as the remaining vehicles were on their way out. I grabbed my pack and hit the trail and let my mind wander to any issues that needed dealing with. Listened to the birds and watched the trees sway from side to side in the wind as I made my way to the spot where I wanted to watch the sunset from. When I arrived, I put my pack down and got the camera ready. I watched the surrounding light change, I still had about 20 minutes left for the warm colours to arrive. I started to relax as I leaned against a tree and watched the sky. For the half hour I was there, the world’s problems were pushed away by the wind. Once the show was over for the day, I made my way to my car with my mind in a better place.
