Thoughts

A thought that crosses the mind. You have a bit of time and the mind wanders into a world of its own. It wanders into a story. A story of a horse in a lively forest. This horse walks to the edge as he approaches a vast open field that seems to extend forever; just as the forest did. Just as he walks out he comes across a fox and it takes him back; scares him almost. How can a fox scare a horse? This isn't just any fox. This fox can talk, and it's bite is poisonous. This fox is the leader of a great army that extends over all of the plains, just waiting for this one horse. But this isn't just any horse either. He stands tall with a low, deep voice and commands nature; he commands the trees. The trees who when called upon will shoot out their thorns at any invaders. So now it's on. It's animals versus the trees. Who will win?

Nature

We may use the term "nature" a lot when we speak; but what does the term "nature" actually mean? Is "nature" an adjective? Is "nature" a noun? Is "nature" a verb? If you were to ask me, then I would say that "nature" is a subject. A subject? Think about the term "nature," and how it is used. We may all use "nature" as one universal term; but "nature" in itself is stemmed off into many branches of smaller definitions. For example, we may use "nature" to describe mountains, rivers, trees, and animals. But that is just the beginning. What is the nature of how you act? What is the nature of how you think? What is the nature of how you live your life and how do we experience nature in our lives? "Nature" is the world; and all of the emotions that come along with it. "Nature" is a tree; holding all of these contents into one beautiful spectacle.
