It's certainly easier and more conducive to the feelings of
freedom, and happiness, and playfulness to be out in the nature.
The normally
feverish mind is quiet as the soul flies from tree to river to mountain in a
sacred dance with life.
In a way, you're always in nature just look to your
body and feel its rhythms or look at the sky.
Even sitting on the porch, or
going for a walk in some neighbourhood, or at a park. In certain settings it
can be less inspiring to the higher functioning.
The environment of artifice is
usually calculated or not a reminder of order, structure and contrived
symmetry.
Square tiles on the floor,
4 walls and a roof,
a clock on the wall
sweeping away seconds,
and all that.
It has its use...and it is in fact no less
'nature' than anything else, but it doesn't do much to facilitate the innate
curiosity generated by random, manifest expression produced so effortlessly by
the greater and higher mind that is always at play.
