Jives, you hold a very crucial part to the environment and its future. You are opting to preserve and hold nature in a way unlike many other people. Just because it is different than the way I view nature does not make it wrong, but just part of the puzzle that together makes humanity and its various ways of grasping a concept.
I commend you for your views and for your love of nature. I too like to camp and leave the site as if no one was there. My husband and myself spend MANY vacation days traveling to natural "wonders" or hiking trails to view indian caves. I like to sit down and envision all the things indians might have been doing if I were in their time instead of my own.
If you ever get to Pickett State Park in Tennessee, you should hike to the indian rock house. It is a true sight to behold!
One thing I like about nature is that you must have a wide enough mind to view it in its entirety without picking it apart. The majesty is found in small peices, put together and they form one huge, fascinating thing. This is much like people and their views....the whole picture is wonderful and made up of small things....pick apart the small things though and you forget the whole view. Much like the english language also....in its entirety it is a magical language with endless amounts of ways to express oneself....pick it apart and you lose your freedom within it.....so look at the entirety and don't pick it apart. You lose sight of the bigger picture when you focus on the kodak label
I'm sorry if I made you woozy Jiles. I can only say that my post is made out of relevance to my life and how I have lived it and how my area and my family formed me into who I am today. I would love to hear about your life, other ways you enjoy nature...and I promise not to focus on words, but the message you give me
