Nature Walks

When people think about the beauty of nature, they often mention the mountains, forests, and oceans as where they go to be inspired and get grounded, but nature can also be subtle and still do the trick. Where I live in the 'burbs (near San Pablo Bay), there are a few forests. a mountain or two, and the ocean quite nearby, but even closer are some amazing marshes and wetlands full of many different kinds of birds, insects, and plants.

Walking the wetlands, especially at dawn or sunset provides a great feeling of peace and tranquility and a oneness with the land that is worth a lot in these tumultuous times.
