Hiking, Snorkelling

Mother Nature to me is simply so beautiful & often while hiking I find myself so saddened by the fact that there are so many people out there who will never experience such beauty.

I feel like while hiking Mother Nature has a way of changing up landscapes right when you’re about to get bored. When you reach the alpine zone of a Forrest it is simply so magical.

I also find that the deeper into the woods you go the more vibrant + alive everything around you becomes. The colors are just..wow. The trees+ plants all look so healthy.. & it is only something you can experience out there. You can never find that sort of vibrancy in cities or suburbs. It is a kind of beauty completely untouched by man.

whenever I get to the summit of a mountain & I look around, I’m always so filled with joy… like THISS. This is what God wanted his people to experience .. THIS.

It just breaks my heart that so many people in this world.. will never experience that moment bc they are too glued to their phones.
