Yesterday, I woke up at four in the morning to go to Pyramid Lake. I'll admit, I wasn't too crazy about the idea at first. Since school has started, I have been trying to keep a certain attitude of studying constantly. Luckily, I am back into the groove.
Pyramid Lake was so relaxing, I let the water and mountains fulfill me while there. It had been sometime since I got to indulge in such a pleasure. I was happy to return home since I had been there for a 12 hour day. However, I let myself linger in the memory of the shimmering water, the tall mountains, and caressing breezes of air.
When people are in nature and embrace it, they become part of it. They become less attached to the concepts of our society and constricted personal lives. In nature, I think any person can find who they really are. Can you just enjoy the breeze for a bit? Can you let yourself float adrift in the water without any complicated thoughts? Can you go for a walk through the mountains without having a destination? Can you just be like the nature for a bit? Aimless, calm, indifferent, yet wild, free, and natural? Can you just let go of it all for just a few hours?
It was beautiful. I want to camp soon-- sometime. I want to see the stars and night sky that I find myself in, the sun rise that stole my heart in childhood, the sunsets with cotton candy clouds, and the moon I often hoped upon. I want to reconnect, on a lager level, with the world that stole my heart and made me love it completely in my youth and through out my life.
Nature, make me fall in love with you all over again. :]
