Today I sat outside in my backyard for only about half'n'hour, without any type of electronics and basically just observed the environment all around me. While sitting, I began to notice certain things, that otherwise I probably never would have guessed even existed. I noticed how all the roses in my backyard was in different sizes and how each one was mixture of both red and white, instead of just one color. I watched how the birds landed on the grass and picked at the soil with their beaks, looking for food. I also noticed how the wind blew through the trees and how the water in my pool actually moved around like tiny waves.
For thirty minutes, I sat on the porch swing and soaked up the sun while relaxing in nature. Separated from the any type of technology, I began to wonder if it was necessary to have an excessive amount of electronics in my life. Sitting outside and simply watching nature, helped me realize that there is more to life than just technology, such as nature itself. This experience made me feel as if I am a part of God and nature as one. For at least a little while, I was able to feel at peace and calm with my surroundings.
