Breathe in. Feel your heart rate accelerate in a fresh air fueled wooded swamp. Inhale the fermented and free flowing oxygen, products of the oaks and maples. Oxygen, the vintage elixir, a secret of the species, has been distilled for thousands of years. Consider the millions, intoxicated for millennia before you.

Associate with the earthy class. Belong by yourself. Isolated from existential woe, find a solitary group of coalescence. Belong to the gathering, the path to yourself is wooded and serene.

The great ideas come from our natural instincts, our capacity to wonder and reflect and spirit of determination. We make the natural wonder exist. Simply go there to see what you have created. Let your splendor underfold in the quiet of natural vistas and greener places.
