Daily Necessities

What is important in our lives? What is less important? Once we have decided what fulfills us, it is easier to strive towards.

When I lived in the country, I took the countryside for granted, it was just there and part of my daily life - the changing of the seasons, the wonderful trees, birdsong, lovely view... I had it all.

Now I live in the town, and have done for nearly twenty-one years now, I realize that I need to get out more and seek out the smallest areas of nature that are already within walking distance. I need nature to renew myself body and soul and when I cannot get that, there is something very important missing from my life.  

My equilibrium depends on my daily walks.
