Being upon nature...

I always feel absolutley happy and peaceful. When i'm out in the woods or on the beach (especially if im alone) i feel like im the last person on earth and that she is saving all her beauty and showing it just to me. My heart feels as though its going to burst with joy. I feel like im home where i truly belong. sometimes its so strong i feel like i cant breathe and i want time to stand still because im scared i'll miss something or wont remember it's beauty and wholeness.

 

that's beautiful

 

I think your off by a few digits here "And being stoned is even9870987098709870987 times better" I'd say more like 987098709870987098723452348752348975239874592873459872345234523452934523452345296345234 better. But then again I might a few digits off too....

Nature rocks! Nothings better than sitting by a tree covered babbling creek, with no where to go or dead lines to meet. Not a care in the world, content. And yes a little smokin sure magnifys this for me.... god I need to quit my job get my bus registerd and ride the waves where ever they take me.... lovin you all....

awww thanks loopie

 

Being outdoors is the ultimate escape! A walk in the forest allows my soul to be cleansed. Becoming one with the elements has enriched my life in more ways than one!
I highly recommend taking a naturalist survival course to anyone who loves the woods. It has given me many tools and vital knowledge that have brought me closer to what I love, Mother Nature.

 

i love it. i feel good about myself. i cant describe the feeling tho. i dont know its like you feel good vibes, wholeness, at home, relaxed, curious, caring. u feel everything good. I feel overwhelmed sometimes if its a beautiful place. i will never forget the feeling when i first saw lake tahoe. that was the most wonderful place ever. you never want to leave those places, and when you look at pictures of it, it doesnt do it justice. the pictures may be beautiful, but pictures dont have texture, or smells, they dont surround you. It just a wonderful feeling!! haha i love it
peace~

 

nature .........thats were its at man . .......peace .....

 

I prefer the city, dawg. Like going clubbin' and mackin' big time.

 

I love the outdoors. To walk in the woods and listen to the sounds, its wonderful! Plus I only have to walk out of my house to be there!

 

Don't get me wrong, I love nature, perhaps more than anything in the world. But i am a very complicated person and when I am away from all the things in civilisation which numb our minds, things start to go funny. Often when I am alone in a forest I get really anxious and start wondering about my existence and the fate of the earth, its almost as if the silence gives me all the more freedom to poner about important issues and I start to go mad. I think about all the maddening things in my life and all the fear

does anyone else feel like me? No offence but sometimes i feel like people who can just forget their problems are just shallow hippies. Its like a religious thing. I used to be like that so don't think i dont know what its like to feel at peace with nature

 

Shallow? Why would you call someone who can forget their problems shallow? It's a blessing to be able to relax and just enjoy living, I think immersing yourself in the Now is as deep as you can get. Future and past are ideas in your head and nothing more, isn't that more shallow than all-that-is?

 

...

 

Well, the lesson learned here is obviously nature doesn't help people think about what others are actually expressing

There are some people who are troubled by reality, have some empathy.

 

...

 

I only called some people who can just forget their problems shallow. I used to be one of those naive little hippies until i realised what life is really like, and what misery can feel like. The silence in nature can be the perfect canvas for all those troubles in your life to manifest - its not like I am choosing to be anxious. I think SOME people who can just forget their problems have a pretty shallow way of viewing the world - isn't the idea that everything is always going to be ok pretty shallow?? Or maybe im being harsh and its just blissful ignorance? Then of course there are the rest of you who have dealt head on with your anxiety and reality and therefore are able to honestly tell yourself you're happy and enjoy nature for the beauty that it is! Dont ever think i'm calling you shallow, you're exactly what i aspire to be!

Anyway, I might've been a bit harsh, I was depressed today, so I got stoned on a hill near my house and watched the sunset. I have not felt peace like that in a long time. There is no reason for anyone to be defensive, our pride is the most emptiest of things, so now i'm just going to let it drift away.

PEACE

god it was so beautiful. I flew a kite for a while. It was all cloudy, then the sun came out just below the clouds and showered this golden light over the lake below and the face of the hills, and the city below. The long grass was flowing in the wind like water, I felt so much love for everything and i got confused why we are all so petty, when you have moments like that...awww, i don't know what to say

I've taken up weed again ad its really helped my soul. Everybody must get stoned

 

I don't think that those who "forget their problems" are idiot optimists who think everything's gonna be ok. I don't even think they even forget their problems (I don't). It's a way of relaxing and putting things in perspective. It's a way to let go of useless anxiety and find a way to do something constructive and positive, without just sitting there worrying. The best thing you can do for the world is to be happy, because then you can begin to have a positive impact on the world. "No world peace without inner peace." It all starts at home, ya know?

 

Like I said, i'm going to let my pride drift away.

 

my mind feels more open and less cluttered. i just love the outdoors.
