on the street where you live : : in our nature

So we can't all just pack up and take a hike in the mountains - get back to nature, as they say. But, oh, it would be so good to be able to. 

What is nature anyway? It would seem that we are programmed with this odd belief that nature packed its own bags and exited the city area, now residing somewhere near dirt roads, densely treed and ferned areas or on an elevated mountainous rocky outcrop. But we can't forget what has become part of our very own day to day nature.

Today, an ode to the nature in which we find ourselves. But sometimes it all feels a little un-natural doesn't it?

It's okay if the rolling hills feel a little bit more like nature than staring at the wall of another building through your bedroom window. But how do you think the moss that grows on your window sill feels? Thinking-fodder, that is!
