The wind blows
The grass grows
The birds chirp
The frogs blurp
This is nature
Filled with danger
Tranquil things
like tree rings (6th grade)
...some shapes that can be thought of with simple pieces that nature can make...

Nature always finds a way to forgive us and recover from the harm we have caused it.

Shadow of a giant tree looks like a giant hand with lots of fingers that are fighting each other...it also looks like strange creatures dancing & talking to each other in hesitation...it seems like they were all connected in one, they move in shadow, caused by wind.

I just saw a truck with a lot of lumber just cut from a place. I feel sorry for those trees and animals' habitats. If I was president of Costa Rica I would put more preservation of nature. Impossible is nothing!

At this moment I wonder why I don't do this more often. It's a time I'm able to get away from the busy life...it makes me love nature and appreciate it even.

No matter how long I stare in awe of this tree, I'll always find a new way to imagine it in an extraordinary scence.

I hear palm trees, I feel soft wind and burning sun, I smell wet dirty, I taste humidity...this wide open space makes me feel at home.

I hear how the wind pushes through objects giving it a music-like sound.

Lying in the grass, butterflies flying everywhere...I wish I could stay here my whole life, this is what a perfect world is called.

There are two amazing trees, their leaves on top were all connected so it looked like a roof with leaves.

What I've learned out here is that God can appreciate things more and see the little details that differ from a drawing or video game. If I could I would take a picture of every existing detail I see. But pictures are not the same as seeing it if only the picture looked the same as how you saw it...I wish to share my ideas with everyone.

There is an underground city of ants...all is silent, all is dark, yet everything is working perfectly.

Maybe if we stopped looking so hard for beauty and just enjoy what's around us, we'd find the real meaning of beauty.

There are many trees that I can see, they are shaking their bodies. I can see they are accepting me to relax next to them, they are really friendly and they sound like they are making music.

The flowers bloom,
the sun is gone
but the gentleness of this moment is everywhere.
The colors contrast,
the children smile
nature is officially awake.

Why are these birds singing, is it a love song, an angry song, a happy song? I can't know but I can guess...What if their message was clear? Would you be willing to hear? Would you ignore it?...Would you like it if no one understood you? Would you need help? Feel desperate if you can't have anyone listen to you?

...lost in this world,
I wonder why you wander off
you, the wind

Nature make me feel at peace, completely at home with myself...things are simpler here...my spirit is at ease...not knowing the beings and customs, yet let in freely as if known for a lifetime.

Roots on the floor
that emerge from a tree
like connecting roads
divide the world in three.

Wind tears through the unclouded sky
trees move with barren trunks and flamming leaves
awaiting rebirth in passing time.

It seems hard to just sit down and have your mind think of nothing. We are always thinking about something...how pleasant it is to enjoy the sound of nature. It's all so good that after a while, you don't want to think about anything, you just want to enjoy the feeling of a blank mind. Which little by little is getting filled by itself, gathering the magic of life.

...we are the people that destroy to create
nature is the power that makes this world great
nature is like a circle, perfect
its continuance with no break between life and death

They sing to each other, they don't have pressure, they can fly anywhere they want to go. The wind blows in the big tree as if it is still free in the forest and birds behave as if the didn't feel humans were coming.

The magnetic equillibrium of two makes it more pulling, because along the bottom you also have the beauty of shade. Within slow movement the tatoo cannot take its true calling. When you have appreciation of the sun's protection, it comes to fortune the present.
