feeling very honored to have experienced this lake with you!! i’m glad you’re starting to feel a sense of comfort in nature (and water specifically) and i’m glad you have witnessed the same sense of joy i’ve often gotten from lakes. these shared beauties really bring us together and i adore nature’s universal love, and i adore you!!

I think humanity has is naturally drawn towards "real things." We can see this in our fascination with natural landmarks, but also in how we are drawn towards artists like Michaelangelo and Da Vinci for their wonderful, masterful use of realism! Another great read, Aarushi.

Appreciating nature is a lesson that comes with age, and in my opinion the sooner one learns it the better. Love the references to Mary Oliver and the Myth of Sisyphus, and your broader point about finding a moment to pause in the midst of the hectic day-to-day is so thoughtful.
