Welcome to February 2025

Happy New Month, friends! Let’s talk about writing about nature and how it can be a pleasurable experience.

Writing is a remarkable and deeply personal experience. I am amazed by our ability to craft beautiful expressions with words. This month, let’s focus on writing about our preferences and sharing our thoughts and opinions to promote positivity in beauty. Beauty can be found in nature, such as mountains, rivers, lakes, hills, clouds, and wildlife; in the diversity of people, including variations in eye colors, height, weight, and hairstyles; in virtues like kindness, gentleness, hope, faith, and love; and many other aspects. I encourage you to express your thoughts through poetry, essays, or any other creative form. I’ll start by sharing some of my favorite things.

I hope we all have a wonderful month ahead!

Beauty in Nature

By the stream of flowing water, I heard a song
Waterfalls create fine sheets of cascading water
like dew spreading over the surface of tranquility

I learned to navigate hilly trails in the frost and darkness
I discovered the value of growing little things like flowers
and locating a rivulet or a pond just by sniffing the wet air

I like the aroma of dew or grass when it mingles with clay
I appreciate the golden views of the sunrise as well as the sunset
and original thoughts from beautiful hearts and minds

I enjoy the crackling sounds and the sight of thunder and lightning during a gentle rainfall
I love the music of raindrops falling softly, like cheerful yet soothing lullabies
I am getting accustomed to the cold, harsh snow that falls unpredictably

I’m amused by the silly squirrels when they groom
I wait to listen to heartbeats when I hug my loved ones
and dream of moonlit nights or rain at bedtime from the comfort of home

I dream of the wilderness, wheat fields, and age-old hills,
I write countryside poetry from people’s love and laughter,
I enjoy playing and immersing my soul in my utopian world.
