One of the most meaningful changes that the pandemic brought about in my life is connecting me with nature. As we were forced to limit physical interactions with others, natural scenery became a very conducive environment that allowed me to sit with my thoughts without completely overwhelming my mind.

Watching the night sky from the corridor at the end of a day. Taking walks in parks. Lying down on the grass. All these experiences always left me more hopeful and at peace than I was before.

The more time we spend in nature, the more engaged and aware we become with our own selves.
