Lately I've realized that becoming "one with nature" is not quite as crazy or hippie-ish as it sounds. To me it means spending more time outdoors, a resolution I've decided to take on. I've started tree climbing and while this sounds adventurous, it's extremely relaxing. Laying up in a tree lets me appreciate the birds that fly overhead, and the squirrels that jump from the limbs like miniature acrobats. If that's not your cup of tea, go on a nature walk or even enjoy your own backyard. If everyone spent 15 minutes a day enjoying nature, there would be more people fighting to protect it.
