At times it can feel like everything around us is synthetic, fabricated, artificial, engineered — perhaps more a distortion of nature that anything natural. Not that I don’t love technology and the modern world, but I find I like to hit my reset button by getting away just a little.

It was a few weeks ago now. This time I chose to peek through the trees at a peaceful pond on a sunny fall day, with ripples quietly fanning across the water, sunshine sparkling, and the lily pads crowding in for a view. Even with roads and vehicles not far away, I could still feel and hear a gentle breeze and it provided the solace that I wanted.

Do you ever feel the need to do the same?
