Rural

We should recognize that "nature" is the total of the earth, on which we reside. A world where the city and the country are closely connected to one another. Modern man seems to have a narrow-minded opinion of what nature is; Snow covered mountains, wild animals, expansive forests, raging rivers, and vast deserts with no horizon. I met a man from a large city, many years ago that said, "I hate coming out here. There is nothing to see…" How can anyone feel as connected to nature as a rancher or farmer, when they are enveloped by neon lights, glass, steel, asphalt and concrete their entire life? Is it even possible to feel close to the "natural world" when living in city surroundings?

The suggestion is that part of our lives should be observing and experiencing the world around us. Examine not only the "big picture" but also some of the finer details… Look within. Perhaps there is something to see….
