Any living being that has lost its instincts has also lost its bond

with nature. We frequently believe we are exempt from this principle,

but it has ultimately cost us more than we realize. We tend to rush

through everything, including our attempts to reconnect with nature,

which often leads to hurried walks focused more on fitness and fresh

air than on truly reconnecting with our inner selves. If we could

just pause and listen occasionally, we would gain so much more from

our time outdoors and learn valuable lessons from Mother Nature.
