Camping

Camping beneath the shimmering stars Makes me realise how insignificant we really are The moonlight gently caressing the world outside a canvas door Such a beautiful, calm picture, I often find myself longing for In the wilderness, back to nature Far from the ever growing lights of the town Away from the hussle and bussle, far from every thing that makes me frown The peace, the tranquillity Time to consider your own reality Following the natural cycles of the earth Some how reconnects you to your own self worth Sleeping from dusk till dawn Being woken by the birds morning song Date: 2005

Totally onboard with the camping concept. I get the same feelings every time I go to Utah and time travel through the bones of the earth. Nicely penned

You've described this so beautifully I'm longing to be out under the moon right now.. Following the natural cycles of the Earth really does reconnect you to your self worth.. It's very powerful. You've captured the wonder and healing power of nature perfectly.

Yes it is an incomparable feeling. It doesn’t make me feel insignificant though. It makes me think how amazing God is and how wonderful it is to be part of all He had created.
