Humans and Nature

There is this feeling I get when I am out in nature, something way different than anything, it is almost indescribable.  I always remember when me and my dad would drive two hours to a creek or a river and fish for the whole day. Those were some of the best moments with my dad, I mean I can describe the days super clear.  There was something I noticed, that even though I loved fishing, I think I enjoyed just being out in nature and relaxing and listening to the chirping of the birds and the flow of the river.  There was something so calming and relaxing to the whole place that I just wanted to stay forever.  Well, time went on and I got busy with school, sports, etc., and I was most of the time locked inside the whole day looking at words on a computer.  Then repeat this five times a week and that was my life.  On the weekends I would probably hangout with some friends, relax, sit back and watch some netflix, but I was always inside and stimulated, besides the exception of baseball practices.  Since quarantine has started, my family has been going on hikes and excursions every sunday with no phones, and even though I hate the no phone part, there is something that is calming and grounding about it.  After this I would feel a boost of energy go throughout my body, with my senses clearer and my productivity begging to be put into use.  It was nature, the real world, mother nature, whatever you want to call it.  I started thinking about the days before cities and electricity, when there were just hunters and gatherers.  People back then were considered stronger and healthier, and I can almost guarantee the outdoors had something to do with it.  Please comment down below what you think, and good luck with the road ahead.  Robert out..
