    Find time for a long solitary walk through nature, a park, the countryside, the bush, the mountain.

    It is so hard, and somewhat frightening, to be truly alone in this age of connection; a long walk in nature without a smartphone or tablet might be one way to attempt this. Feel the rapture and ecstasy when alone in nature. Achieve a calm, almost selfless and carefree state, that is its own reward, loosing all self awareness in a kind of tranquil bliss, lying on the field of flowers looking up at the sky, or walking in the bush or forest.

    Nature will make you feel good. Opposite to the way civilised society complicates things, and for the most part can harm our essential humanity.

    In all things of #Nature there is something of the marvellous (Aristotle).

    Contact with #nature is critical to the personal development of our children (David #Attenborough).

    Climb the Mountains and get their good tidings. Nature's peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into the trees. The winds will blow their own freshness into you, and the storms their energy, while cares will drop off like autumn leaves (John Muir).
