Nature Travel and Creativity

Nature has taught me many lessons and I always wonder if all the poets have written all their great poems while living in the lap of nature! But a common man like me has made positive changes in his life by understanding all the qualities of nature.

When you go in search of nature, the true traveler inside you awakens. There is a very deep connection between nature and man. Both complement each other. For man, the earth is the courtyard of his house, the sky is the roof, the sun, moon, and stars are lamps, the sea and river are water pots, and trees and plants are the means of food.

Usually I go to the lap of nature and forests, but for the last few days I have started going there daily. It's a personal problem that has disturbed me and I feel there is no better teacher for man than nature. Whatever man has achieved to date, he has done it by learning from nature.

In fact, nature teaches us many important lessons. For example, autumn does not mean the end of the tree. The person who imbibed this lesson in his life never feared failure. Such a person tries to achieve success afresh without getting disturbed after every failure. They keep doing this until they get success. Similarly, trees laden with fruits but bent downwards teach us to remain humble and modest despite getting success and fame or being rich.

Idealism has the same place in the life of a nature traveler as nature has in his life. The most important thing is that everyone has their own importance in nature. Even a small insect is useful for nature, while for a nature lover, a tree is equal to a hundred successful citizens.

Do you know that we Indians have an eternal tradition of worshiping trees? I believe that the man who plants new trees flourishes in heaven for as many years as the trees planted by him flourish on earth.

The biggest specialty of nature is that it does not consume its things on its own. Like the river does not drink its own water, trees do not eat their own fruits, and flowers spread their fragrance in the entire environment. This means that nature does not discriminate or discriminate against anyone, but when man unnecessarily messes with nature, it gets angry. It warns man by expressing it from time to time in the form of drought, flood, deluge, and storm.

A nature lover feels that the mango trees swaying with their chests open, the palm trees standing proudly holding the sky, the swinging fringes of the horizon, and the playful, carefree wind sitting on every branch swaying with the load of fruits—what else does a nature traveler need?

I feel that today my travel blog has become a little different, but nowadays I am on a cyber detox, so my writing is a little emotional, and my morning walk has given it a little more poetic touch.

The truth is that nature fulfills our desires by providing us leaves, flowers, fruits, shade, roots, bulk, wood and firewood, fragrance, ash, kernels, and sprouts. That is why it is said in Sanskrit that nature has great importance in human life. So don't you think that a true traveler is not only the one who travels to new places but also the one who gets true happiness by spending some moments in the lap of nature?

People in human settlements ask a lot of questions. What happened? Why did you think of cyber detox? But the forest is the lap of God. There no one asks questions, no one gives his opinion, just listens to the inner pain, dilemma, screams, questions and fears! The forest is the listener for whom words are never needed.

In a fleeting life, the artist creates a lot and then one day dissolves in the air like fragrance. When one has to become fragrance, then why is it not right to bloom like a flower or wither like a bud? When one has to perish, then what is the meaning of life? Breathing is not living. Collecting precious material things around you is not success. If this were so, then every rich person would also be happy. The poor never laugh. Still people are busy collecting wealth.

But how can living only for oneself be the purpose of life? I would wander in the forest for hours, entangled in the storm of these thoughts. Maybe I would have become a stump myself if one day she had not come in front of me and broken the labyrinth of all these thoughts in my mind.

I was wandering in the winds on this March morning and as usual I did not have my camera with me. Spring had arrived and various kinds of birds had gathered around me. I saw a butterfly circling around me. Its brown wings had black lines on which there were small white and green dots. For a moment I felt as if the forest had come to meet me in the form of a butterfly.

But the very next moment I thought it was an illusion of my mind and forgot. But what happened after that was unimaginable. That butterfly came to me and sat on my shoulder. Before I could understand anything, a group of innumerable butterflies with green wings passed by me. Some of those butterflies came near me and stopped.

The wings of the brown butterfly sitting on my shoulder moved. She rose above the shoulder, touched my cheeks and disappeared into the forest. The green winged butterflies also followed her. I felt as if wings had grown on my back and I rose a little above the ground and what happened was unexpected but true.

Although my brain tried its best to distract my mind with its thought power, my mind, which could see the void, remained confused. You said it right; this morning I heard the eagerness of the birds and their calls.

Some people have also seen me walking in the forests with my solitude, talking, but no one could do anything except talking. I am considering this solitude of the world of imagination as permanent when that butterfly came slowly and sat on my shoulder. I saw that her green army was also following her.

It felt as if all the bonds of attachment had broken. Then which love bond was not letting her go away from me! Even then I did not have the answer. Readers are free to solve this puzzle. I touched her. There was a slight movement in her wings. But she did not fly away.

I placed her soft body on a nearby flower tree and started walking towards home. The end of one journey is the beginning of many journeys. The purpose of life is not selfishness, but it is different. Do you believe that nature understands the mysterious mystery of us humans? I accept it because it is based on the reality I have experienced.
