My Secret Nature Spots. Painting, Harmonizing, Camping, Listening, Receiving.

in #photography6 years ago

At least once every year I go on a wild camping/painting trip. I have my secret spots. No people, no loud music, just the sounds of nature.

I bathe in the river and swim naked in the lake, watching clouds and trees move on the steep rocky slopes. I watch the stars at nights and I am scared of bears, kindling my little fire, alerted by every rustle of dry undergrowth. I pray to Michael and Raphael and I sleep with hunting knife, to at least go down in a soldier way if I have to.

Every morning is a redemption and a proof that it was 100 times worth it. Funnily enough the other day there was a bear right in front of my tent when I woke up. He ran away as I peeked my head out, not interested in me. I was like WTF bro!

Sunshine touches my tired face and I prepare tea. I go for morning bath and the water hugs me in her cool embrace. When it gets hot I sit on a fallen tree or a stone and I crack open a beer that I managed to keep cold thanks to my cooler with half melted ice in it.

I sit in the grass and let the ants crawl over me when I paint. I don't mind. It's their forest. I'm a visitor here. Looking to merge with this harmony around me, waiting for epiphany, and magically enough - receiving one.

Your connection and appreciation of nature is simply wonderful, @jankasparec! I can feel the earth's energies flowing through your art pieces, and it is no wonder that you find your balance easily when you are surrounded in nature :)

As for me, I find my recharge through long walks and through resting, like the occasional long sleeps are really great for making me feel all new again :D
