A BALM FOR THE SOUL

”Nature is painting for us, day after day, pictures of infinite beauty” - John Ruskin

It has always been the way the clouds never cease to mesmerize me with its beauty and different shades of colors to keep me gazing at it. If you know me, you will also know how much I love looking at the sky and taking a picture if I can. It was already getting dark and as I walk my friends to the school gate before we all depart to our different places, I saw the beautiful nature around me and I just couldn’t resist taking pictures of what I was seeing even though my phone’s battery was very low.

For starters, here at my university, one thing you can’t help but admire almost every time is the touch of nature everywhere. Fortunately, the vice chancellor of my university is a lover of nature and she gives so much attention to the environment just to make sure the environment looks beautiful and attractive. There are beautiful flowers, trees, statues and even water fountain! Sadly I haven’t been able to get a good image of that fountain since I rarely take that route.

The university has a good road and nice beautification and on that particular day, there was something extra adding to the beauty of the environment. As always, I do take a glimpse at the clouds from time to time as I walk and that evening, the clouds were looking so beautiful and I made sure to capture the moments. My friends were a bit concerned about me because I was not paying close attention to the path I was walking through, lol.

I always take pleasure in admiring natures beauty and I think one reason why I love my school is for the fact that I get to reconnect with nature more often than not. I can easily leave my house in the morning so I can spend some time with nature before my classes get started and it has always been refreshing and relaxing as well. Nature is one easy way to heal me mentally and emotionally and that is why I always enjoy walking because I get to spend more time with myself and the beauty around me.

To some people, they hardly even notices the difference between the clouds but I always try to make them understand that there is always a difference but they just can’t see it because they are not even interested in the first place, hehe. So to you reading this, do you have that special thing in nature that helps you connect more to it? For me it is obviously the clouds, trees and also beautiful flowers.
