City Dweller or Wilderness Junkie?, Which are you?

   Are you a city Dweller? or a Wilderness Junkie?
     Do you love the street lights and cafes? Do you love the sound of the wind whipping through the trees and the smell of pine needles? Or maybe you like both? I honestly feel there are people of both sets of worlds, and yes I mean "worlds". The difference in opinion and location not only echo what one persons choice is, but of what one person feels deep inside.

     Ask yourself this, have you ever felt your mood change, or your spirits lift when heading towards a city you like or a favorite camping spot? I myself am a person of both worlds, I grew up in the cities of California, but also at times resided in the mountain ranges. I have at times felt the need to uproot for a bit in order to get my thoughts straight. I find it interesting that I am not the only one who does this form of relaxation.

     There is something about being in the middle of nowhere surrounded by nature,rivers, and various plants and wildlife that speaks to me. Can you imagine waking up one morning and exiting your tent with your toes reaching into the untouched dirt. Your eyes adjusting to the light that flickers through the tree branches and the birds chirping you a friendly hello. The soft wind caressing the trees and your face with the sweet smell of wild flowers. As your eyes reach back down towards the ground, they find a beautiful view into a ravine only described in books..

    That was my yesterday, and today's zen ...


    Feel free to comment and chime in with your spot in the world that helps you rediscover your passion.
  This was just a bit of Food for thought :)
