Nature and Spirituality

To me there has always been a correlation between nature and spirituality. When I was younger I didn't understand this, all I knew is that I loved being in nature. But now, as I've gotten older and still love to be in nature, I've begun to realize that there is a natural correlation between the two.

 

For example, I love to walk in the woods, its always been a passion of mine. What has actually been going on for my entire life is that when I'm in nature, standing in woods, I'm also talking to God.

 

Nature and God are impossible to tell apart. In many respects the two are the same thing. It's obvious that most of the great thinkers that have ever walked this planet noticed the correlation between nature and God.

 

It is impossible for a human being to take a walk in the woods alone and not feel the presence of God in my opinion. That undeniable presence from which we all originated. The easiest way to get back in touch with this presence is through the serenity of nature. For me, it's always been most apparent while standing in a woods. For you, maybe it's overlooking a mountain or lake. For someone else it might be a stroll in a nature park. The point is that nature and spirituality are forever linked.
