Nature Nurtures

Posted by in Writing Life

Nature can truly nurture your creative spirit and clean out the debris in the mind. I went for my first hike Saturday after many many years away from it. Walking the mountains watching rabbits and snakes co-exist (kinda) you are struck by the calm simplicity of it all…the relaxing energy that permeated everything.

There was no fear (not in the rabbit as it lives with the snakes) Well except for my scream when a 5 foot snake squirmed in my path. One can really think clearly without noise, electronics, etc – true. But this is still vastly different from locking oneself in a closet to achieve that. Nature adds something to us when we visit it, it influences us on many levels but mostly it influences us on a creative level.

Go out in nature, make it your ‘Artists Date’ if you read Julia Cameron. You can drain the muse every day and not give something back, not recharge her.
