Even if it&#8217;s just a short walk or trip to the garden, nature makes me feel more grounded. Having spent so much time indoors\u2014and continuing to physically distance despite the weather\u2014I find that each \u201csingle thing\u201d I encounter in nature takes on profound meaning. <\/p>\n<p><strong>1) Nature Feeds Us<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Lettuce and herb seeds I planted weeks ago are starting to look like actual, bona fide plants. I\u2019ve grown <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/positive-living\/health-and-wellness\/3-short-seasoned-spring-vegetables-to-treasure\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">vegetable gardens<\/a> for years, but this year when those tender plants first peered up at the sunlight, I felt deeply moved by the gift of nourishment that can grow from such a tiny seed.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2) Nature Persists<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>My family is fortunate to live near a walking trail that is sparsely traveled. The sight of feathery, new pine trees greeted us on a recent walk and left us astonished and reassured as we recognized that they had grown from pine cones that had peppered the forest floor. Without any human hands, nature finds its way.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3) Nature Comforts Us<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The pandemic leaves no one untouched, and each of us is grieving in some way\u2014for a loved one who has died, for the pressures of financial strain, for the loss of routines and habits that used to define our daily lives. In times of grief, nature can be a comforting presence.
