Taking a lesson out of nature

There has been a drought in Europe for a few weeks. You could see nature begging for some water while the sun kept shining bright. The fields that were once a luscious green are turned into a bed of brown. A balance was disturbed and the trees and plants were having a tough time. On my walk with a coworker I saw how devastated the fields were. When I looked further then the big patch of dead grass, we noticed some bright green trees. As we ventured further into the park, trees were looking more healthy.

Walking through the forest of lively trees we came to a path with beautiful flowers hanging from the hedges. A big contrast to what we saw earlier in the field. This truly was the bright side of having all this sunlight. The sight of natures beauty brought a broad smile to my face and it gave me an ease of mind that it is going to be okay.

At the end of the path we came to a pond where nature was loaded with life. Bright green trees and bushes. The floor was layered with flower petals. This looked like a little bubble where nature kept its energy for better times. The shade also brought us some soothing comfort from being in the harsh sunlight. We even came across other wanderers in nature who were sheltering from the sun.

This walk through nature had many ups and downs, just like life itself. Even though the sun is shining bright, things might not go the way you want it to. Just remember that there is always a hidden pond where you can get soothing comfort, a fresh look on life and energy to get you through the tough bits. Just like the sun rays will peek through the clouds like a light in the darkness, a pond will replenish you after a hot day in the sun.
