We spotted this plastic egg on a trail near Tiger Mountain. I’m guessing it may have been left behind by someone who had an Easter event on the trail. It seems a bit like littering, but it did get me thinking.
People have different places where they seem comfortable. Some people are afraid of the woods. But to some people, nature is like their church. By getting out in nature they feel peaceful and energized.
There are several good reasons that nature is a healthy place. The exercise to get there is good. The air seems to be cleaner having been filtered by trees and vegetation. I also wonder if pollen and chemicals emitted by plants, that people breathe in, are like a medicine.
Whether people head to nature for games or just to experience peace, it seems like a healthy activity that God gave us.
