Thirty Minutes in Nature

     It is now twelve o'clock in the afternoon. I am sitting outside my house, isolated from technology. As the wind blows, tree branches swing from left to right. Beautiful birds are chirping, and my neighbors are out on walks. I never realized how calming nature can be. As I sit on my front porch, I see a line of ants marching. It is as if they are claiming their territory with an "army" of ants. I look up, and the trees catch my attention again. Many of them lost their leaves, as if they are naked.
     I look down and see the uncut grass, and its uneven blades hang in different directions. I wonder how it looks to smaller animals, as if the grass is an infinite jungle of over sized blades of grass. I now see why many people spend their time far away from technology, and as closely tied to nature as possible. Thirty minutes is not enough time for one to enjoy time in nature. People should spend at least thirty minutes in nature a day, to actually appreciate this beautiful world.
