A few days ago I was sitting in a public park. There were no other people close to me in the park. The sun was shining in a mostly cloudless sky and some of the taller trees were casting shadows on the grass. A gust of wind would blow through and the sounds of all the leaves from the trees made that pleasant rushing sound before ebbing away with the retreat of the wind. The smell of Earth was strong, like freshly turned soil. There were birds and insects, unseen, but loudly calling to each other oblivious to me in the park with them. I heard a commotion from the underbrush not far away, and see three squirrels chattering and giving chase to one another. It was very pleasant!
I wish I could have packaged this moment in the park in a bottle and give it to you to experience right now. A bottle of peace and contentment, as long as you don’t mind the chatty squirrels.
Seriously dude, head to a green space near you (if they exist). They provide the environment our brains expect from past evolution.
Take a tip from the Welsh, “dod yn ôl at fy nghoed” literally translates as, “to return to my trees”, and means, “to return to a balanced state of mind”.
Reminds me of a episode of Supernatural season 6 episode 20 The Man Who Would Be King. In it the angel Castiel explains a part of heaven he enjoys. Don’t want to spoil much but what you just described would make a wonderful day to experience like that.

That’s a really nice comment I’ve saved it. Genuine thanks 😊
