Cities have got their distinctive characteristics, I mean, the hustle and bustle, the blinking and flashing lights, and the rolling sounds of other man-made devices and phenomena. I live in the city. But that's not the same as saying I prefer it's aura to that of a more natural environment--the countryside.
The city thrills me, though, especially with all those pleasing and escatic digital sounds, the awe-inspiring and aesthetic structures, and the pleasurable company of a lot of friends, family and acquaintances. Plus the comfy arms of an urban home, and all the digital devices that make life worth living in the city.

But I would like to talk about something that thrills me a lot more than the city does--the countryside. Untouched by the metamorphic arms of modern technology, where you encounter nature in it's purest form as we can find today. A place where the mind is at rest and firmly in control. A realm, if you can call it that, where you can find beautiful personifications of nature in form of exotic plants, and creatures, where you can truly appreciate the very thing that sustains human life.
I do really love the countryside!
Let me tell you one thing. I feel a lot more refreshed, renewed and fufiled spending a month close to nature in this place than half a decade in the most comfortable city on Earth.
Call me crazy if you like, because, no one in his right senses would abandon the comfy arms of modern-day cities for the countryside.
You see, when I'm in a natural environment, I feel a kind of purifying force that purifys all of my being, purging it of all the negative thoughts and emotions. That's why I feel a certain emotional calm after experiencing nature this way, so much that I have lesser bouts of wrathful outbursts
I can confidently say that nature is man's best friend when it comes to creativity. This is something I have experienced first hand. I mean, you feel like Newton, sitting in the midst of greenish vegetation, and having those million-dollar ideas. It's like you are in communication with an inner self that is more knowledgeable than you and as if you are transported to insanely elevated planes of knowledge inaccessible to mortal men.
And so my connection to nature is one of deep intimacy, I can talk of it as the intimate association between spouses, one in which the emotions, mind, of the two parties are entwined. The kind of association where ideas, thoughts, emotions are transferred without a word being spoken, without any sound of any sort. Something akin to what Paul described as "the peace that passes all understanding."
Nature, to me, is God. I love her, cherish her. I find strength and refreshment in her. I find a soul-repairing calmness and quiet. I find joy and peace, and life. And I find the highest levels of mortal intellect.
All these are things you can find only shallowly in the boisterous, corrupted environment of the city.
We travel, once a year to visit our countryside home, my family and I, and then I find the joy of reuniting with nature. While in the city I make due with spending time in some quiet place.
This two entities each have their joys and their appeals, I mean, nature and the urban environment, but for me nature wins the duel. Nature is life, nature is joy, nature is peace. It offers both mental, emotional, intellectual, and even physical well-being.
I plan on raising the perfect garden, where I can go to experience nature in it's purest, and most perfect form.
I don't know if any other person feels this weird connection to nature, but I do. And I would give anything, money, pleasurable company, hell, even the world to have this unreal but totally beautiful connection.
Thanks For Reading.
